At Mallory's two month appointment she weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. Dr. Draehn said according to her growth rate over the past two months she will be a small petite little girl. She is below the average both in weight and height for her age.
When I heard this it reminded me of what we were told about Dalton so I went searching for his records. At Dalton's two month appointment he weighed 10 lbs. 11 oz. and was 23 inches long. He too was well below the average both in weight and height.
So then I thought, oh well Mallory was 3 weeks early, but she only weighed 1 lb. less. My next thought... Mallory is eating less then Dalton. Not exactly...Mallory is eating at least 5 oz. at a feeding. Dalton was good if he took all 4 oz. at the same age. So what's the deal? Who knows, but I certainly hope she does not inherit her brothers eating habits. If so we are in real trouble.
Look at those gorgeous big eyes.
Two months brought the beginning of some personality. Mallory loves for you to talk to her. She is starting to coo and certainly loves to smile, but on the downside she is not very happy if you don't give her all your attention. She does not like to entertain herself very well.
