4 month appointment
Weight 15.44 lbs,
Length: 26.5 inches
head circumference 17 inches
Next appointment is her 6 month on Sept 24th at 10:30 a.m.
Her soft spot is still there (though still small) but her HC is so much better the DR said there really isn't anything to worry about.

2 month appt stats + something to worry about
Height - 22.44 inches aka 57 cm
Weight - 12.103 lbs aka 5.49 kg
HC - 15.04 inches aka 38.2 cm
Child Growth Chart Calculator
Based on the data you submitted, your child falls into the following percentiles:
Length = between percentile 25 and 50
Weight = between percentile 50 and 75
Head Circumference = between percentile 10 and 25
DR said she was looking good, healthy and alert but he had one concern.
He said that her fontanel was about the size of his fingertip and that that was really small for her only being 2 months old.
He said that we needed to monitor it and if it appears to get smaller than a fingertip that we should come back in. But that he did not want to x-ray her at this point and expose her to radiation since it is still open albeit small.
I really didn't understand what this could mean but I googled it as soon as I got home and found:
http://www.answers.com/topic/craniosynostosis
Cranial deformity produced when the bones of the skull fuse too early. Pressure from the growing brain normally causes the skull bones to grow along the seams (cranial sutures) between them. If all the sutures fuse early, the head remains abnormally small, which can cause intellectual disability or blindness. If only one or some fuse early, the skull grows in other directions and becomes deformed. Surgery in the first two years to keep the sutures open longer minimizes these complications.
And now I am feeling extremely concerned and freaked out...

The wee lamb is getting bigger
Had a DR appt today. Next one is May 25th at 10:40 a.m. and she's supposed to get her first shots... a standard one and one that's new since Little Man was young called Prevnar.
Feeling leery about the vaccinations - going to have to do some googling.
Anyway,
Lambikins is up to 9.85 lbs (4.47 kg), is 21.8 inches long (55.3 cm) & her head circumference is 14.8 inches (37.6 cm) as of today (and she'll be 5 wks old tomorrow).
He listened to her heart and lungs, asked about her eating and her bowels movements and said she was looking good.
