2 months

Well time is really flying by! Yesterday Kallie turned 2 months old already!! Today we had her 2 month checkup and shots...she did scream...okay she wailed...it even made me tear up. She had three shots in her legs and an oral vaccine she took my mouth. She slept for a good 3 hours afterwards...but now is fairly happy as you can tell by the picture. I just took this picture 10 minutes ago!! I was trying to get a picture of her bandaids and she thought it was funny I guess!! I did get one though.

Kallie weighs 11 lbs 8 oz...which puts her in the 69th percentile for weight and she is 23 1/2 inches long putting her in the 90th percentile for height...

The pediatrician also checked her birthmarks, which I don't think I've ever mentioned on here before. Kallie has 6 birthmarks. They are very red and noticeable...people think they're bruises or marks...but they're birthmarks. She has 2 on her head, one on her right arm, one on her right ribs, one on her left thigh and one on the left side of her bottom. The doctor said they're "normal" and we're just watching them right now...she said they will or should calm down and will flatten out (they're raised off the skin) by the time she's in school...if not before. They watch them in case they grow rapidly...that means there could be some on the inside on her organs (which is common) and so they would do an ultrasound, especially on the liver if they start growing faster. Anyway...you can see one of the birthmarks in the pictures next to her pink bandaid.

Other than that Ryan has started basketball season so we're busy with games. I go back to work January 5th, not quite looking forward to leaving Kallie yet. We are in our new house for Christmas which will be nice. Our families are coming over to visit us during the week of Christmas. We're looking forward to that!!!

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, I promise I'll keep posting as often as I can. :-)

Love,
Ryan, Melissa & Kallie
