Growing - slowly but surely

Elsa had her 2 month check up today. I thought she would be close to 9 lbs by now, but she only weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz – a whopping 0% on the growth percentage charts! The dr. wasn’t concerned because she is growing. She will likely be just a little thing! She was 21.5 inches long (10%), and has a head circumference of 15.75 cm – 91% for her age! Hopefully she’ll even out a little bit. Thankfully her head doesn’t look that much bigger than her body right now! She received 3 shots in her legs and 1 oral immunization. She cried, but stopped as soon as we picked her up. She slept almost all day today. I can only hope she does the same tonight! At our dr.’s recommendation we are changing her formula again, this time to one that has added rice that activates to sit in her tummy once it gets in there. The hope is that she isn’t spitting up as much. We are open to trying anything at this point!
