Snow Day

Brooke was scheduled to go in for her 2 month check-up on Wednesday, February 2nd. Well thanks to Mother Nature dumping 18 inches of snow on us, her appointment was cancelled. After Daddy got done cleaning up the driveway, we bundled Brooke up and took her outside for a quick picture in the mountain of snow.

First and hopefully last major snowfall!

Happy to be back inside and warm!

Pretty in pink, ready to go see the doctor!

The roads were cleaned up enough that I was able to get Brooke in the following day. Dr. Persak was surprised to see how big Brooke had gotten since her last visit! Brooke showed the doctor all of the things she is so good at --- big smiles, responding with coo's and especially how strong her neck is! I shared with the doctor how good of an eater and sleeper Brooke was and the doctor reminded me just how lucky I am!

She weighed in at a whooping 13 pounds, 11 ounces putting her in the 94th percentile for weight, measured 23 inches long (65th percentile) and her head was in the 83rd percentile. I was so scared I was going to get in trouble for feeding her so much, but the doctor said she looked great and was perfectly proportionate and to keep doing what we were doing!

After the doctor was done with the examination the nurses came in for her round of shots. I was shocked at Brooke's reaction. I wasn't expecting her to scream out of control, but I sure wasn't expecting her to not cry at all! After the nurses were done, she let out ONE squawk and was over it before I even got to pick her up and was back to her smiling self! Another job well done, Brooke sure made her mommy proud!
