Addison - 2 Months

Technically Addison is 9 weeks now! At her 2 month checkup yesterday, here are her stats:

Weight: 9 lbs 3.5 oz (13%)
Height: 21.25 inches (12%)
Head: 14.75 inches (18%)

So still very small but great growth since her last appointment! We discussed her spitting up and gas issues and have now gotten her on a special formula for spit up. It seems to have made a difference already! She seems happier, is staying awake longer, sleeping a little better, the spit up has significantly reduced and she doesn't suck a lot of air and drool a ton while drinking her bottles. We are also going to try a probiotic to help with the gas discomfort. All in all, a huge improvement already! As long as it continues, fingers crossed!!! Thank goodness she's not just a huge drama queen afterall. :)

She also survived her first round of immunizations. 3 shots and 1 by mouth. She of course screamed so hard she wasn't making a sound for a while, but she actually calmed down a lot faster than I thought she would. And last night she didn't get a fever and wasn't particularly cranky, just very tired. She's very sensitive where the shots were given, but I'd say she handled it like a champ. :)

Her development otherwise is right on track. She's smiling, tracking with her eyes, batting at toys and cooing. One thing we are really working on is tummy time and adjusting her head/neck because she is getting flat on one side. It is mild so far and isn't torticollis, but it is something we work on with her.

By her next appointment at 4 months, she should be laughing, holding her head up completely and grasping objects. Exciting stuff!
