Aspen's 2 week Check-up

Yesterday we took a trip to our pediatrician's office for Aspen's 2 week check-up appointment. It was really nice that the whole family (well minus Bella) got to go to the visit. I imagine as your baby has more and more of these visits and a person has more children, you start to make less of an "event" of every tiny thing. However, I couldn't resist taking photos of my baby girl's progress in just a short 2 1/2 weeks of life.



Two weeks ago at Aspen's newborn check-up she weighed 7lbs. 9oz. (down from her birth weight of 7lbs. 11oz.).


Yesterday she weighed in at a whopping 9lbs. 0.1 oz (75%ile)! The two of us both feel very blessed that Aspen took right to eating well with no problems. I guess her weight is proof that she getting all the nutrition she needs. Our doctor was very happy with her weight gain and said we could stop worrying about feeding her every 2 1/2 to 3 hours and to start letting Aspen dictate when she is hungry. This will be a nice break for mommy :)

When Aspen was born she was 20 1/2 in. long.


Yesterday she measured in at 21 1/2 in.(80%ile), gaining a whole inch in 2 weeks. It's good to see her growing both ways.

I'm not sure what her the head circumference was originally, but she measured in at 36.2 cm. (55%ile). Neither Jason or I have big heads, so I think she will always fall into an average head size.


At every doctor's appointment the medical assistant writes up all the measurements for us on this "certificate" for Aspen. It's very cute and helpful to remember everything.

Here a couple more photos of our little girl. I think she is the most adorable thing I've ever seen (although I know I'm biased). Don't you agree??
