Allie's 2-Month checkup went very well. She weighed in at 10 lbs 14 oz (50th percentile) and was 23 1/2 inches long (75th percentile). The doctor said she is long and lean.
He referred us on to an ENT specialist to have her tongue looked at further. She was born tongue-tied which means that the fraenulum (thin piece of skin that attaches your tongue to the bottom of your mouth) is attached too close to the tip of her tongue, restricting it's movement. He noticed that her tongue curls upwards when she tries to stick it out of her mouth so he wants to have it checked. He's 90% sure it won't have to be clipped but just wanted to make sure. If it's not corrected it can cause speech and dental problems down the line so we'd rather get it fixed now if necessary.
He was very surprised at how social she is. She talked up a storm while we were there and makes fantastic eye contact. She's a total busy body and isn't happy unless she can see what's going on. I told him that she likes to stand up and he said that she probably isn't bearing much weight on her legs at this age. She stood up and he was shocked! He was impressed with her core strength and her head control.
She got 5 vacinations but only 3 shots. She screamed bloody murder with the first one. It was so sad. They waited like 5 minutes (why, I have NO idea) before giving the next one and Allie started screaming as soon as the nurse came near her. My kid's not stupid lady. She knows you hurt her last time and doesn't want you anywhere near her again! She got her final two shots and cried but calmed down pretty quickly. She slept most of the next day but wasn't too fussy.
All-in-all the doctor said she is perfect, which Mommy and Daddy already knew of course!
