At her two month appointment she was 22 inches long and 11.3 lbs- that's 40% for weight and height AND head size. A perfectly proportioned little girl!
She is such a good smiler- it makes me feel appreciated and she's such a good sleeper that it makes me feel happy! I get up before her almost every morning. I'm pretty sure that has NEVER happened with my boys yet!
On a strange medical note: Right after her two month appointment, Afton started getting hives on her face and her arms. Everyday they would get a little worse and spread a little farther. Never really in the same place or the same time and they always disappeared after 20-30 minutes. I finally took her to the doctor who sat and watched them change and then called in ANOTHER doctor who sat and watched them fade and grow for a while, neither of whom had any idea what was causing it. So, they had me start giving her Claritin, which has helped some what with the hives but still didn't not help me figure out what was going on. After 3 weeks, I ruled out virus because they only last a short while. After 2 weeks of me not eating dairy or nuts, I ruled those out too, because it didn't seem to have any effect. So I started not using dryer sheets to see if THAT would help...BUT, two days after eating a delicious lasagna dinner on Sunday night- the first dairy after the test- I decided it probably IS dairy after all. BLAH. So, for Afton, that means nothing, she just eats like usual. For me, that means I can't eat pretty much all of my favorite foods: milk, smoothies, yogurt, cheese, chicken enchiladas, pizza, sour cream, , granola, even lots of breads and crackers have milk protein in them! Luckily, my sister in law is an expert on NOT eating things and she knows the good stuff- like Almond milk (the chocolate milk is yummy!) So, I'll try this out and hopefully it will help Afton's hives and the stomach issues and maybe we can work the dairy in again at a later date- sooner rather than later I hope!

Oh no! Not the dairy! I'm glad you have an expert to help you. I hope Afton feels better soon. How unusual!
You might give raw milk a try - it works for a lot of people, not all. It depends on what exactly is going on with the milk. Among other things, raw milk is more easily digested than pasteurized because it still has the live enzymes in it that help digest the lactose.
