Belle's US doctor actually spent quite a bit of time with us! I was honestly surprised that I got the chance to ask so many questions. In Brazil spending time with the doctor is a given but you have to wait for it.
Her stats:
Weight: 15 lbs 8 oz and in the 70th percentile (up form 13 at 2 months)
Height: 25 inches and in the 80th percentile (up from 24 at 2 months)
I didn't see the nurse measure her height but I really think that she grew more than 1 inch in 2 months. I will have to break out the tape measure this weekend.
We have the ok to start solid foods. I asked his opinion on which foods to start, because I read a few things about rice cereal not being the best to start out with, and he said that anything really would be great. If I chose not to feed her solids then I have to at least give her vitamins so she can get iron and vitamin D.
Her first spoon full of food will be sweet potatoes that I am going to steam and add a little milk too to soften them up a little. I promise to get some good photos of her!!
Nate is back in town but right now both Belle and him are sleeping so I cannot wait for their reunion! I love them both so much.
Tchau,
Sara
wow, she is growing like mad. Solid foods, what a big girl!
