2 weeks ago at Bella's first appointment with the pediatrician the doctor told us that they would like it if she was at least at her birth weight for her 2 week appointment (today's appointment). Babies tend to lose weight when they first come home and most gain it back in two weeks. Our little one not only gained the weight back, but she is now a whopping 8 lbs 2 ozs. The doctor was very shocked that she had packed on this much weight in only 2 weeks. He said he hasn't seen that happen in years. He cracked a joke saying, "Geese Alexis you could open your own organic dairy farm!" He was very happy that she was putting on the weight so well. I was worried for a minute but he assured me that this means we are doing everything perfectly. In fact, he was amazed at our little girl’s development. He stated that she was a lot stronger than most babies her age and he is sure she will be an early roller so he cautioned us to always keep a hand close by. Boy oh boy she is growing up so fast already!

Congratulation you two!!!
