2 Feet Tall!!!

OK, 2 feet, 1 Inch! :-) I posted a picture similar to this LONG ago...Now look at her....she can't hardly fit width-wise in her crib.
Summer is gettin' Tall

This is kinda grainy, from cell, in darker room...but, you can totally see how long she is. And here she is a bit closer. All smiles

25 inches, wow! She was only 18.5 at birth...7 inches longer!! She weighed in at 13 pounds 5.5 ounces...that's a weight gain of almost 6 pounds since birth. Doc says, double the weight in 5 months, triple in twelve...so, she'll be about 15 pounds at her next appt, give or take. Her head has also grown, she's about 16 inches around now!

Well, doc says she's perfect weight, height and everything is hunky dory... He thought her left eye, may be a little weak/crossed now and again...so we will bring her to the opthamologist to have her checked out...been looking at all her pics and watching her closely...I don't see anything...but, hey, he's the expert. We'll keep everyone posted on that. :-)

She was given a clean bill of health and told we can start feeding her non-citrus based foods. So, tonight we fed her some carrots. Pics in next post. She is NOT teething...seemed early, but we haven't been reading up on her development, in advance...so, we thought the hand chewing and drooling were signs. Doc says that's just standard developmental learning. Said she seems a bit early on learning, due to her grasping and rolling over.

Lastly, while there, I finally got my flu shot. Jess got hers a week or two ago at work. My work hasn't mentioned anything about doing them this year, so I took care of it after Summer appt. So, both Summer and Daddy got shot on Friday. Summer is doing a little better than last time, but she still isn't so happy about it. Sleeping peacefully right now.
