she's getting so big!

well alice had her 2 month check-up and shots yesterday. she's now a whole 12 lbs (7.8 at birth) and 25 inches long (21 at birth)!! her torso doesn't seem to be super long, but boy are her legs! she seems to be right on target in terms of reflexes, and her doctor is incredibly surprised at how well she holds her head up (she can go 10 minutes, easily). she took the shots like a trooper, but boy did it kill mommy to see her in such pain. she was only a little bit cranky the rest of the day so i'd say we got lucky she didn't have a reaction.

i talked to the doc about her reflux issues. they seem to be getting better since we increased the nipple size, so he wants us to give that a few more weeks to see if the issues go away completely. i was happy to hear that b/c i really didn't want to put her on meds. we mentioned to him that the past few nights she's been sleeping A LOT at night. she went 10-12 hours between feedings! i never set an alarm b/c she always wakes me up when she needs food, so imagine my surprise when i saw the time. he said to keep an eye on her, it may just be she was over tired from the holidays. so last night i set the alarm to go off at 8 hours between feeds...i heard her making her "i'm waking up" noises on the monitor so i just left her alone. sure enough a half hour later she was awake. 8 1/2 hours over night seems a lot better to me than 12 hours. so we'll see if she's back to her old self again.

now if she could just have a chat with her cousin kaylee...
