Rachel checkups

Time passes and I forgot to document Rachel's 4 month checkup. She is a joy in our house and we're glad she is healthy and growing well.We went to the doctors on October 25 just 3 days passed her 4 mon mark. Head circumference was 16 1/4 inch putting her in the 58%. It was up 1.5 inchs in 2 months majorly jumping in the percentile ranks from just 19%. I wondered if she would have as big of a head as Aaron, but she seems to have slowed down since then. Rachel is 25 in tall growing 2 inches in 2 months and percentile the same at 76%. She weighs 15 lbs 10 oz to put her at 87%, gaining 3.66 lbs. One trouble we talked over was all the red dots all over her body. I was beginning to think she was having an allergic reaction to something but she just has sensitive skin with a bad case of eczema.We were back at the doctors for 6 mon on Dec 23 (was scheduled day before but accidentally scheduled my dentist at the same time). Head circumference 16.52 in dropping down to 36% as only grew apx 1/4 of an inch. Rachel is 26.51 in tall putting her at 78%, having only grown 1.5 in. She weighs 17 lbs 10 oz putting her at 81%, having gained 2 lbs precisely. Dr Lator was very pleased with how she is growing. She is in size 3 diapers and wearing 3-6 mon clothes. I think she is in size 2 shoe.
