This morning, Maya had her first visit with a pediatrician here in Santa Fe. I don’t adore him (yet) the way I did Dr. Dawson in Colorado Springs, but I don’t dislike him either. I had to apologize to Maya for being *wrong* about no new shots. She got her second flu shot (I didn’t know they’re supposed to get two their first winter?) and her first Hep-A shot (it’s regionally needed, and the doc said it’s going national anyway). The big news…

Maya’s on the chart for weight!

She wasn’t quite as heavy as I’d hoped/thought, but still, she’s gained more than 2 pounds in the past 3 months, huge for her. She’s also 1.5 inches taller — no wonder she seems so tall now! New stats:

Weight: 23lb, 4oz (5th percentile, 2lb 1oz since early Oct)
Height: 35.5″ (75th percentile, 1.5″ since Oct)
Head: 45cm = 17.75″ (5th percentile, .25″ since Oct)

Dang. Can you say, “growth spurt?”
