Hayley's 2 Month Checkup

Well, Hayley had her two month checkup yesterday and we are pleased to say that everything went very well. She is now up to 13 lbs 10 oz and just over 24 inches in length. She is in the 95th percentile of children her age. Which means she is well above the average weight and height for a two month old. Her pediatrician said she actually has the measurments of a four month old. She also received three immunization shots which she took like a champ. It was definitely worse for mommy than it was for Hayley. She cried a little bit (Hayley that is, not Carolyn), but calmed down once we picked her up.

Overall, Hayley is doing great. She has a mild form of torticollis which is when the head tilts to one side more than the other. Hayley always has her head tilted to her left. We have been doing stretching excercises to help her neck muscles develop. The pediatrician was not too concerned with it and suggested we continue with the stretching excercises and always put her down so she has to look to her right when we play with her. It definitely seems to be getting better.

Uncle Jacob, Auntie Asha and Nora came up from NC this weekend and we had a great time visiting with them. On Sunday we went to Lyman Orchards where we picked our own apples right from the trees and got lost in the giant Corn Maze. It was so much fun. I think Gramma Lorraine is going to be busy making apple pies for a while.

Well, that is all for now. We will get some more pictures posted soon. Take care.
