As the Joc grows...

We just got back from the Doc with Joc, and things went very well! Her weight at 5 weeks is... (drum roll..) 9lbs 11oz! A bit less then we actually thought (we had her at 10lbs last week) but she is growing very nicely! She is in the 55% for weight and she is now up to 21.3 inches which puts her in the 45% for height- she's quite avg! Her head has grown 3 cm's which is great b/c she is now fitting into all the really fun hats we have for her!

The doc said she is progressing very nicely, and we asked about her 25 min cat naps and she said not to be concerned. At 2 months we can talk about having her cry through them, but for now she sleeps when she wants, and eats what she wants and when she wants it (perfect for her!)

We also asked about her binge eating of 5 1/2 -6 oz's and she said as long as she is keeping it down, it's fine. They go through all sorts of small growth spurts and she may have just been going through one of those.

She got her first shot (Hep B) and handled it very well (only cried for about 10 sec). Chris claimed that she was acting tough like her daddy, not weak like her mommy (who almost fainted on the delivery table receiving her shots last time!)

All in all- Good News!
