Emma: Week 9

Highlights:

* Size 1 diapers and 0 - 3 mth clothes
* Takes 3 x 1 hour naps throughout the day
* Still sleeps about 4 - 5 hours through one stretch at night
* Usually wakes up smiling and cooing (love this!)
* Doesn't enjoy tummy-time but I constantly tell her that it's for her own good
* Hands are still in fists most of the time; she is starting to relax them a little bit more
* Hair is thicker and longer
* Smiles constantly
* Can fit several fingers in her mouth at one time; whenever we see her fingers in her mouth, Greg and I try to replace it with her pacifier.
* Feeds every 2 - 2.5 hours during the day and this will continue until she gets solids at 6 months. (We do demand feeding and I feed Emma when she's hungry, not necessarily on any schedule.)
* Very good at following me and Greg around the room with her eyes. 

From 2 month check-up:

Weight: 10 lbs 15 oz (50th percentile), Height: 23.5 in (90th percentile), Head circumference: 38 cm (25th percentile). We saw the nurse practitioner for the first time. She said that Emma looked great. Emma had 3 vaccine shots and 1 oral vaccine: DTaP, Hep B, Hib, Polio, Rotavirus, Pneumococcal. Poor thing screamed after the first shot and was sleepy/fussy for the following two days. She goes back for her 4 month check-up. We also discovered that she has a nursing blister on her lips but it doesn't seem to bother Emma.

Emma enjoyed having Mimi and Grandpa  (? Dad's still unsure what he wants to be called.) and Robin & Lesley Pett visit over the weekend. We went to the G-Day game and Emma did great! We were in the shade and she was awake for the majority of the game, looking around.
