Here are the official progress shots of 8 week old Ivy. Posted, I may note, MORE than 24 hours before we are to take her 9 week shots. On top of our game around here, aren't we!? Good lord the weeks go fast...

This morning Ivy went for her 2 month doctor visit. All's well. She was pronounced healthy and perfect and was given 3 shots and an oral vaccine (which she is dealing with pretty well today, not too much fussiness so far). She, following in her big brother's footsteps always, will also be participating in a vaccine study. (Jack was informed today that he helped to get the 13-valent Prevnar vaccine licensed for his age group! What an accomplished young man...)
With no further ado, here are her official stats:
Weight-- 11 lbs 8 oz, 75th percentile
Height-- 23 inches, 75th percentile
Head Circumference-- some random number, 10th percentile
So, apparently she is growing nicely. Except for her head, that is. While I am personally a bit concerned that her percentile for head circumference is dropping while everything else is getting bigger, her doctor was not worried, and said the biggest problem with her head size will be finding hats to fit. That and the fact that her mother will be calling her "pinhead" from now on. As a term of endearment, of course!
We are about to start the final stages of packing for our long stay at Farley's. I am most certainly dreading the drive there (8 hours of travel with fussy baby and bored toddler, compounded by unknown-as-yet side effects of vaccines, oh yay...) and hoping that the stay itself will prove the travel to be worthwhile. I feel like we are always running to keep up with daily life around here, where we actually have a routine and storage and all the conveniences we are used to. Hopefully we'll find a rhythm and be able to keep up in a new place...
So, off to pack. I'll leave you with some random pictures from the last week.
Ivy has discovered the mirror on the mobile of her swing...

Jack at Voinovich Park this morning, where we went to look at the tall ships. He was just as impressed by the Goodtime III and this random sailboat so its a good thing we didn't pay admission to see them!

we had the opposite issue with Hayleigh's head. It was always big, but the dr was never concerned since it was consistently in the 90th percentile. We just had trouble finding hats that fit.
