### Katy's 2 month appointment

Hi everyone! Sorry that it's been so long since I've posted here. Katy's taking up most of my time and I'm starting to get back into doing Mary Kay, which is taking the rest of my time. Katy had her 2 month appointment on Monday. It was...well, interesting. She's now 9 lbs 12 oz and 22 inches long. She's in the 25th percentile with everything, so at least she's proportional, right? The doctor told me to start doing exercises with her because she looks to her left about 90% of the time and she's starting to develop a small flat spot on her head. She also gave me some cream to take care of the yeast that's growing under her arms and in the crease in her neck. Then...the dreaded shots. I wasn't looking forward to it, especially because Katy was in such a good mood on Monday morning. She was cooing and grinning up a storm and I knew it would end as soon as she got the shots. It was so sad. She's doing a lot better now, but Monday evening was rough. Her little legs were red and slightly swollen and we didn't have any Tylenol to give her. We got some though, and life got happier after that. And then, she slept all night for the first time. We put her to bed at 11 and she didn't wake up until 6. It was amazing. The only really scary part for me has been that she's quit eating so much. She's not eating as often and now she's eating half as much as she was before. So, I called the pediatrician's office today and they said that a loss of appetite, though rare, is a side effect of the shots. It should only last between 1 - 3 days, so if it lasts longer than 4 or if I think she's getting dehydrated, I'm supposed to take her in, but otherwise, she should be fine. But other than that, she's a happy girl! She's starting to coo and giggle now, it's the cutest thing! I just love to listen to her. Speaking of which, she's crying now, so I'd better go. I love you all!!
