Right on Track

Lucy had her 12 month doctor appointment a little over a week ago. I am happy to again report that Lucy is very healthy. Dr. Olivieri again said she was just perfect - what every parent hopes to hear! Lucy is just shy of 21 lbs, putting her in the 48th percentile for weight for her age. She is 29 inches tall! This puts her in the 46th percentile for height for her age. Lucy is developing right on track. She is doing all the right things for her age too! Lucy had to get 3 immunizations during her visit, and we are proud to report that she was a real champ - she only cried for a quick minute and then was her normal happy self.

A Healthy Lucy Girl!

Lucy had her 9 month check up with Dr. Olivieri today. He said she is perfect - which is always a nice thing to hear. Her heart and lungs sound good, she is developing just as she should be and she is growing well. Lucy now weighs just barely over 19 lbs, which puts her in the 50th percentile for weight. She is 2' 4" tall, which is the 60th percentile for height. Her head measures in at a whopping 18.7 " which is the 99.43 percentile for head circumference! Everyone thought Lucy was so cute and she waved and smiled for each person who talked to or smiled at her, which just made people even more interested in talking to her. The nurse shared with us that the infant flu shot is a two part shot, Lucy needs to come back in 4 weeks for part two. To this, Lucy clapped, raised her arms and made hurrah kind of sounds. I don't think she understood what the nurse was saying! Lucy was a real trooper during her two immunizations. She barely cried and once it was all over, she was smiling and chatting again.

Happy Half-Birthday!

Yesterday Lucy turned 6 months old! Our girl sure is growing up fast. We took Lucy for her 6 month doctor appointment on Wednesday. Her doctor described Lucy as "perfect," what more could a parent want to hear? Lucy is now 26" tall and weighs 16 lbs, 11 oz - so she has grown a lot! Both of these measurements fell into the 60s for percentile range (I can't remember exactly where), but her head circumference is in the 95 percentile!! Her dad likes to say it is because Lucy's head is so full of brains - I think she just inherited his big head :-)
