Tabitha's 2 month Stats

We took Tabitha to the Dr. on Monday and here are her stats.

Weight: 10lb 3 oz (+3lb 4 oz since birth) (Slightly below Average)

Height: 22.75" (+2.25" since birth) (above average)

Head: 15" (I don't remember what it was at birth.) (Average)

She will be tall and skinny just like her...... well... I'm sure it's in the family genes somewhere....

She was healthy and happy and got 3 shots which made her very unhappy. She got one dose of vaccination orally and she even cried for that one. It must not have been the taste she wanted...

(brag alert) We have made several outings and pretty much at every one someone will stop in their tracks and tell me how beautiful or precious she is... Made me want to put her in a beauty pageant right then and there... just kidding... I know she is beautiful and precious... but much more than that I am just glad that she is a happy child. She and Jake will make a great duet of loving children. He is empathetic and compassionate and she will be one of those people who can turn the world on with her smile..... and I hope she doesn't get teeth for a good long time because nothing is funnier than a huge gummy grin.

She is starting to reciprocate smiles and is starting to "talk". She still has bright red hair (which has all but fallen out on top, but is abundant on the back of her head) and a small "strawberry" on her right eyelid and a much larger strawberry patch on the back of her head near her neck. Lucky for her she will have hair to cover the big one and I think that the eyelid one will fade with time and growth.

Her brother is still insisting her name is Brenda, even though we've corrected him numerous times. He calls her "Sissy" most of the time anyway. He LOVES her so much. He is constantly asking about her, hugging her, kissing her and being generally infatuated with her. He hasn't shown any jealousy toward her even though I can't respond to his needs as much as he would want me to. He HAS increased his whiney-factor by 564684651354%, though.

Life is good. Sleep is a distant memory. But smiles are-a-plenty at our house.
