Growth Spurt!

Another checkup with the pediatrition today. She got her last Hepatitis B vaccination! Yayyy! (Of course there's still many others coming down the road, but don't discourage Evvie with such talk).

Here are her new stats:

Weight: 16 lbs. 12 oz
9%

Length: 28 1/2"
70%

Head: 17 1/4"
56%

She's gained 3 1/4 inches in length and is showing her Smith genes! Her head barely grew, whch is fine, and her weight seems a little light- although to look at her you'd never say that. She's not overly fat, but her rolls are still there and those cheeks resemble the backyard critters that have begun storing away nuts for winter.

Dr. Tracy said she is doing very well, and went on and on about what a great baby she is. Her gums seem to be bulging, which goes along with our observations that she seems to be teething. Soon "Chopper" and "Slasher" will have some new friends on top in her mouth.

We've been spending a lot of time checking out daycare facilities, as Hallie is going to work full-time during the days starting next week. Evvie will be at daycare two days a week, which we feel is a good compromise between us wanting her to have some social time with other kids, and us wanting to be with her all the time. Jay will work on those two days and stay home with her the other three. We've pretty much got it narrowed down to the one we want, but deciding means letting go a little bit...

She's been crawling all over the house lately and she's so fun to watch, as behind every corner lies a new discovery to be made. We're also getting plenty of excercise following her around looking for non-babyproofed areas!
