Chubby Chicken

Or as Robert likes to say "butterball turkey with arms"... Our little girl had her 2 month appointment a couple days ago and at 7 1/2 weeks she weighs 13 lbs. 14 oz... The doc looked it up and apparently she is in the 99th percentile for her weight, 93rd percentile for her length and 90th percentile for her head circumfrance....

My mom says I must have cream of wheat breastmilk. This is absolutly amazing since you cannot overfeed a breastfed baby, so she is just naturally built this way. The doctor also said that babies that weigh more than their peers are more than likely going to be tall, it doesn't have anything to do with their weight later in life.... So she is going to be a tall girl, like her daddy, maybe she will be a model. Obviously this gene didn't come from my side of the family lol.

She is doing great, sleeping a lot more at night. Lately she just needs a feeding before bed, and another one around 2am and then not another one until morning time (7ish)... We are getting better, but we decided to keep her in the cradle in our room until she is sleeping through the night and doesnt need a middle of the night feeding, so probably in April or so...

We are planning a trip to Florida beginning of March, we are looking forward to it and hope that Stella won't mind the plane ride. We hope it warms up in Florida for our trip because there has been freezing warnings there the last few weeks!

ANYWAYS.... WE LOVE OUR CHUBBY CHICKEN... OUR GIGGLER #2!! =)
