Lauren had her 2 month well-baby visit today. She passed with flying colors! She did get checked out a little more closely because she is just getting over her cold- and they are concerned about RSV in such a little baby, but her pulse-ox (oxygen in her blood) was fine and so were her little ears. She had to get 5 shots and 1 oral vaccine- poor baby. I didn't know she could cry so hard! Both of the nurses teared up, too- it really must be hard to know you are causing a baby to cry that hard. But within 5 minutes, Lauren was smiling and giggling at the nurse- nice to know she does not hold a grudge.
So, her growth continues to be stellar- she is 12 lbs and 11.5 oz- up over 4 lbs from birth! That is the 90th percentile. But the more striking is her height- she is 24 inches (2 FEET!) tall, which is the 95th percentile. That was the comment everyone had- was her height and her pretty blue eyes. I of course cannot claim credit for either of these attributes- she is lucky to have a tall slim daddy to give her good genes. And the nurse was confident that her eyes are likely to stay blue, she said they dont look like they will change to brown. Not sure I believe her just yet, but I am hopeful that Lauren will keep the blue eyes or change to green like her daddy.
In summary, Lauren is the love of my life- most beautiful, talented young lady I have ever met, and I could brag, and brag all night about her. But, will stop for now, only to gush on about her another day...

Go Lauren!!! She has passed up Ella who wasn't even 12 pounds at her 4 month check up. We had to delay her vaccines, so she gets the fun tomorrow. Glad to hear she is growing and keeping her sats up!
Great to hear she is doing so well!
