One Month Check-up (10/12/10)

Ellie had her one-month check-up at the doctor.  She's progressing normally and got her 2nd Hep B shot (which she handled like a pro).
Just FYI - Since I have been told by at least 3 different people that a baby cries to develop her lungs - I decided to ask the doctor if this was true - it's not...it's just an old wives' tale (which I suspected). 

Weight
8lb 6oz (which is up 22oz in the past 15 days!)
Just about the 25th percentile for a 1-month old female

Height
20 Inches
Just about the 25th percentile for a 1-month old female

Head Circumference
13 3/4 inches
Just under the 14th percentile for a 1-month old female (She was under the 3rd percentile at birth)

To celebrate such a good check-up, Grandma and Grandpa Svejcar came in and took Ellie and mommy to the Lincoln Park Zoo.  It was such a nice day outside that Ellie slept the entire time in her stroller, but it was still a nice experience.  :-)
