2 Months

Today was Charlotte's 2 month appointment with the pediatrician.  She is 22 inches and 9 pounds 9 ounces.  You could probably watch her grow right now.  Preemies can grow even faster than term babies, called "catch-up growth", and land on their regular growth chart by 1 or 2 years old.  Charlotte's doctor thinks she will catch-up to her peers by 9 months or so.  When she was born, she was below the 5th percentile for weight and below the 20th percentile for height.  Now, she has jumped to the 25th percentile for weight and 40th percentile for height.  As my mom would say, she is really thriving!
