Norah had her 2 month check-up with Dr. Elliott last Wednesday. Overall, she was given a clean bill of health. Dr. Elliott noted that she was doing all the things he wanted to see (smiling, making good eye contact, cooing, etc.) and that her parents radiated love and nurturing throughout the room. A few specifics:
- weight (11 lbs. 12 oz., 75th percentile)
- length (23 1/8 inches, 85th percentile)
- head circumference (16 inches, 85th percentile)
- skin looks excellent (continue with whatever bathing routine you're using, "It's working")
- belly button is firming up (maybe hernia is improving/more likely to heal on it's own?)
- growth is excellent (continue with same formula and schedule)
- immunizations received (4 shots; 2 in each thigh and an oral immunization for rotovirus)
- next appt. at 4 mos.

Way to grow, Norah. Love you, Aunt C
Does Dr. Elliott look like the stereotypical pediatrician or what? Male 100th percentile; Elderly 80th percentile; Kindly appearance 91st percentile; White 97th percentile; Cute paintings on exam room wall, 87th percentile; Visible stethoscope 41st percentile; Glasses 77th percentile...
Granddaddy
Your account glides over the thigh shots, and my account of my family's experiences may have done the same, but I remember those thigh shots as front-and-center heartbreakers.
I noticed that, too, Granddaddy! The only thing missing is that round mirror thingy on his forehead!! I never could figure out why they needed those things; I guessed the docs decided they didn't need them!!
Cheers for Norah! Thriving and surrounded with love!
