Two Month Check Up

Today was Jenna's check-up. She weighs 9 lbs 10 oz, is 23 inches long, and has a 39.5 cm circumference head. Her length and head size are above average and tracking well, but her weight is still low in ratio to her length. :( The doctor is going to have us feed her two bottles of formula a day and we will go back for another weight check at the end of the month. I asked if we should be waking her up during the night and he said that we may need to consider it if she doesn't gain as much as he would expect with the supplements, but for now he thinks we should let her sleep.
She had to get 3 shots and one oral vaccine. She did so great! She made a funny face at the first prick, but calmed down and started sucking on the binky. She did fine with the initial prick of the 2nd shot, but as the nurse started administering the medication, she got so upset. It was so sad! She screamed through it and the 3rd shot, but calmed down fairly quickly afterwards. When we were leaving there was a woman in the waiting room who asked if she was the baby that was crying and jokingly told me that it made her wonder if Dr. Widman is mean and that she thought about leaving!
After her appointment we went to Chapala's for lunch with Heather. She was treating me to a late birthday lunch. As usual, it was delicious and Jenna was fabulous. She usually does great at restaurants, but I was worried that she wouldn't be in a good mood after getting the shots, but she had a bottle and zonked out. She's been pretty tired the rest of this afternoon and evening.

Jenna is 2 Months Old!

Today Jenna turned 2 months old. She's now coo-ing like crazy, smiling a lot, and trying hard to hold her head up. She still doesn't care much for holding up her body and head when she's having tummy time, but she does hold it up great if she's being held. Since she doesn't show much interest in pushing up when she's on her tummy, it doesn't look like rolling over will happen any time soon, but you never know. We go to the doctor this Wednesday (Grandpa Mark and Kim's birthday!) for her 2 month check-up. I'm anxious to see if she is continuing to gain weight well. Uncle Brad told us that she looks like she's starting to get a cubby baby face, so maybe she is. I'll try to get an update posted after her appointment with the details.

Hope everyone enjoyed the Superbowl. I think that this year was the first year since Aaron and I have lived together that we didn't host a party, so it was quiet at our house (except for the occasional fussy baby). I'm not sure which commercial was my favorite. I liked the Conan O'Brien one, the Budweiser one with the Clydesdale 'fetching', and the crystal ball Doritos one. Seems like they were all on early during the game. Even though I could really care less who won, I decided to root for the Cardinals, just because they make me feel that there is slight hope for the Chiefs in the future. Aaron and I always pick opposite teams to root for, but this year we picked the same team, so we really didn't even get competitive about the game. I'm not sure what anyone else thinks, but I really have not been impressed with the halftime shows for the last few years. I know that there was all that hoopla with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake a few years ago, but I liked the shows a lot better when they were a combination of lots of current (emphasis on current...) artists. Maybe it is a generational thing? Nuff about football, I know that you are really most intersted in Princess J, so here you go. The first picure I took last week one morning and I really like how it turned out, the second I took on her 2 month birthday, and the 3rd is just fitting because she looks like a little diva, hee hee.
