Took Miss C to the doctors today for a weight check today and found that she had gained a few ounces, but no more. She's now officially a peanut. A small, cute peanut with lots of smiles. 20th percentile. But the doctor isn't worried. In any case, we're going back for another weight check at 8 months. So long as she continues to increase instead of plateauing, we're in good shape. A good small shape.

Speaking of today's doctor's trip, I totally ran late and didn't get to eat breakfast so afterwards, I stopped at the bagel place and picked up a bagel. After a second of thought, I decided that I would be ever so nice and pick up a bagel for my bagel loving daughter to share with her daddy.
Best of intentions.
But the drive! It's so LONG!
Yeah, by the time I got home, both bagels were happily residing in my belly.
I just can't help myself.

Bean has an interesting taste on Christmas as of today. When asked what she wants, she now says "NOTHING."
She saw a bunch of things on the dining room table that came in the mail and asked what they were. I said, "Christmas presents". Shaun asked Bean what he should get her for a Christmas present and she said,
"Nothing! I don't LIKE Christmas presents!"
She means it.
But weirdly, she has very sweet ideas of what to give everyone else. C is getting a bagel because C loves bagels. (That's true).
Not sure where this all came from, but it's pretty funny. I don't think she'll object to opening some packages on Christmas morning, but we'll see. :)

I got to take a two hour nap today while my girls slept for 2.5 hours each at the same time.
I felt like super mom.
Or really, after the nap, I didn't feel dead tired, which was pretty super.

Best part of being used to waking up every few hours? A nap doesn't result in that awful post nap hangover grogginess anymore. It's just par for the course.

20th percentile is small, but not too crazy small. I have a friend who's daughter fell off of the scale. She's happy and healthy in every other way, just a skinny girl.
ReplyDeleteBagel shop bagels are not for taking home, they're for eating! Grocery store bagels are for sharing. :o)
I can only pull off a couple of naps a year because I always get the groggy nap hangover. Not fun.
Happy Friday!
Jen, I told you I thought she was tiny. She's happy, healthy and a real cutie. Give her hugs and kisses for me. ~julie
ReplyDeleteGlad that she is gaining and that is so cute that she is tiny. My son was born 3 weeks early and weighted 5lbs 10ozs. He was in the 20th percentile when he was 6 months and now at almost 4 he is right there with the average of his age group. I hope she contiues to grow.
