2 feet tall


Bella went to the GI doctor yesterday and she's growing like a weed! She's 24" long, which puts her in the 90th percentile for height!! She weighs 11 pounds 2 ounces which puts her in the 50th (or a little less) percentile for weight. If you look at the height to weight ratio (which is what the doctor really looks at) she's dropped a little since she's so long and is a bit under the 5th percentile again. She's gaining really well ... more than her "goal" ... so the doctors are pleased. We go back again in 4 weeks.

Her belly seems "okay" and her reflux is a bit worse right now since we're switching medicines. She's started throwing up daily & spitting up quite a bit, but she doesn't seem to be in pain when it happens. Just means she gets a lot more baths and goes through all her pretty clothes!!

So here are a few random photos from the week ....


Although this is Bella's "sad" face, it still melts my heart!! This is right before she's about to start crying.



Bath time!!!


This is what happens when Bella throws up when she eats ... she's forced to finish her bottle in the nude! :)

Look at that belly!

Trying to get a good photo of a baby and a dog is hard!! This is the best so far.
Today was Bella's first softball game! Grandma and Grandpa came to cheer for Tyler (and see Bella!)
Bella got to spend some QT with her main squeeze ... Tucker! He was being so good and eating Cheerios and Goldfish like a big boy! A few ended up on the ground, but that's okay!

Go Daddy!!!

Look at the flowers Bella got from Mina at Park Cities! We buy rugs from her at work and she was very sweet to send a gorgeous arrangement. It's huge!
Thanks for visiting! :)
