Going to the Doctor's Office

Today Aspen had a doctor's appointment. She hasn't been to the doctor since she was two weeks old. It was exciting to see how much she has grown in the past two months. Wednesday was Aspen's 11 week birthday and it would appear that she is a healthy, growing baby.



Her weight was 12lbs. (80%ile); her height is 23 1/2 in. (90%ile); her head circumference is 39.4cm (60%ile). I'm not surprised that she is so long because lately all of her pants look more like capri pants. Both Jason and I have tall genes in our families and I think Aspen is definitely going to fall into that category.



Today we also had our first round of shots (although they did give her a shot at the hospital, they took her to the nursery to do it). All in all she did pretty well with the experience. When they actually gave her the shot she just closed her eyes and opened her mouth really wide, but no cries came out (it was kind of hilarious to watch). Then as soon as it was over the tears flowed for a couple of minutes, but she fell right to sleep as soon as we got in the car.

It's great to see our little girl growing and developing into a beautiful healthy baby. Check out the video of her waiting to get her shots.

I'm glad she is developing so well and loves to dance!

It's amazing what a difference 5 pounds is. Jessica weighed 7 pounds at her dr. appointment today and you wouldn't think that 5 pounds would make such a difference.
