9 lbs 13 oz
22 inches
The doctor was pleased with her weight gain since that's really her main job right now: eat and grow.
She checked out healthy in every other aspect as well, despite the fact that she still has the lingering congestion of her cold (nothing to be concerned about, he said). She does have unfortunate skin, though, and he noted that by saying that "she's a cute baby, but she has bad skin." It's not really a surprise that she has sensitive skin because both Jerry and I have seasonal allergies and sensitive/dry skin, so there was really no escape for her on that front. So, we just have to use some hypo-allergenic lotion and give it time (and breast milk -- which seems to be the "magic" cure all that both the doctors and the literature suggest).
But, despite the "bad skin" she still thinks she's a pretty face in the mirror and we do too!

she IS such a cutie!!
Very cool picture.
Glad to hear she's growing well!
Did the dr. suggest putting breastmilk on her skin? Sometimes that helps (it also helps with goopy eyes).
that's a great pic! what a cutie pie! breast milk is the cure all. there is no man-made equivalent, no matter what the formula commercials say.
She's adorable! Give her skin time... her body will probably learn to control it better as she grows and her immune system strengthens. I'm glad the check up went well!
LOL... ditto @ Lily...
Wow, doc is very blunt. I wouldn't call it "bad," just needing special care. Hope she outgrows it!
Congrats on the checkup. I love, love, love that picture!
Glad to hear the check-up went well!
Love the mirror photo.
Glad all went well at the doctor's office. She sure is cute!
So glad the check-up went well! That is a precious pic!
Sensitive skin is the pitts, but I am sure your milk and loving touch will be the cure all! She is such a cutie! :)
Glad to hear that your daughter's doctor visit came out with flying colors. She is so adorable. No questions!
too cute, as always
she IS a cutie! try cetaphil...and whole foods has something for baby skin- i don't remember what it is but I used it on J.
Glad her check-up went well. She is such an adorable baby! :)
Norah is a cute baby and has a great personality so forget the current state of her skin. It will get better with time and it's not like she has green moles on the tip of her nose.
Stats looks good too. What percentile is she in for each (not that it matters but she seems in the upper echelon).
Keep up the good parenting mom and dad!
fyi - comment from stefan was me - son had logged onto google with my computer and i just realized it was signed onto his name and not mine.
Good to hear her checkup went well
so cute, glad all is well
She's growing up fast, huh? (Brooke had bad skin too ... outgrew it by about 6 months, but then the drooling got really bad and she broke out from that. Always something!)
That is a great picture. Glad to hear she is doing well.
Oh she is too cute!!
Glad things are going well with Norah, but yikes, ours was 9lbs 13oz when he was born...I'm scared to find out what he weighs now...
