She's growing TOO fast!!! Before we know it, Dean will be walking her down the aisle...ok, maybe I'm getting a LITTLE ahead of myself there...but still, time keeps flying by! She smiles a lot now, which is soooooo fun! She also "talks"...if you sit and chat with her, she'll coo and gurgle in response...it's too cute. :) And have I ever mentioned that she toots like her daddy? :) It's incredible that that tiny little body can produce such loud noises. She is finally in her own room and in her crib! It was a slow transition from our room to the living room and eventually down the hall to the nursery...she has been in there for three nights now. She's sleeping more, which is wonderful! The other day, she slept til 5 in the morning!!
On December 4th, we took her in for her two-month check-up with Dr.Davey. I was excited to see how much she had grown, but knowing that shots were on the agenda made me a bit nervous. :(Dr.Davey said she's doing really well in all aspects and very healthy, so that's great to hear! She is now 11 pounds 3 ounces (56th percentile) and 22 3/4 inches (60th percentile). My fear that she wasn't eating enough was pretty much squashed. :)
When it was time for her shots, the nurse came back in to administer them. Dean and I both bent down to hold her hands and talk to her while she did it. I kept my eyes on her face, but I definitely knew when the first poke happened. Her eyes shot wide open and her poor little face turned bright red. For a split second, I thought maybe she wouldn't cry...hmm, not so much...it just took an extra couple of seconds for the pain to register. After she realized what had happened, she started screaming...and then mom started crying. I was trying so hard not to, but seeing her cry like that was not easy! I felt sooo bad for her! Three shots in those little roly-poly legs!
She was pretty sleepy the rest of the afternoon and evening...she developed a mild fever and just looked so out of it. :( She was back to her old self in a couple days though so all is well! :)

She has grown so much since the last time I saw her! She is such a cutie! I pretty sure Heidi is going to be short like me and she'll have her tall friend Ayla! :)
I got tears in my eyes reading about Ayla's shots...I am sure I will cry too when the twins get their's! She is just too cute, congrats on getting her into her room! I got a great book from a friend about getting babies on sleep schedules and sleeping through the night if you need some pointers...The twins slept 7 hours straight last night after I read a few tips!
She is GORGEOUS! Glad the appointment went well. I can't wait to see her (and you and Dean) again soon!!!
I hate shots! I am alread dreading Lily's 4 month checkup!
Anne, she's so stinkin' cute! I love all her little hairs! I hope I can meet her someday!
