3 month check up (at 3 months, 3 weeks + 6 days)
Took these pictures of Nell "crawling", last night! Isn’t she just a doll?!? I am just having too much fun being home with Nell and I feel so extremely privilidged that I get this year at home to watch her grow! There is nothing I love more than walking into her room every morning and getting that heart-melting grin first thing! Who knew I’d be this ga-ga for my girl?!
This afternoon we were at the healthstation for Nell’s 3 month appointment and everything is going great! Our jordmor was impressed that Nell is so active. I told her than Nell is already baby-talking back to me and Lars, that she loves being on her stomach and that she is already rolling over!
Its so fun that Nell is getting to be at an age where she can show love too…that she smiles at us, coo’s at us, and even puts her arms around our neck to hold on while we’re walking around home! The other morning Lars went to get Nell out of bed and came out beaming…"Look! She’s hugging me!" It was so darling! He even told his golf friends that he got his first hug!
Nell also got her first vaccines today, the first of the series of three. In Norwegian she got difteri, stivkrampe (tetnis), kikhoste, poliomyelitt and Hib-infeksjon (DTP-IPV-Hib), Pneumokokksykdom. One in each thigh. And she screamed bloody murder for them both! Our jordmor said she was impressed with Nell’s pipes! "Does she always have such a high pitched scream?" she asked me! Ha, ha! I told her yes, that Nell has screamed like a tea-kettle since the day she was born, but that we 
rarely hear her scream these days…she is such a good girl! So dose 2 (of 3), Nell gets in October…more screaming to come!
As for stats,
Nell weighs 6,835 kilos (15 pounds)
she is 61,5 centimeters long (24 inches)
and her head circumfrance is 41,8 (16 inches)
Too Funny! Can’t beleive how much lighter her hair has gotten…..and those eyes. Two weeks from today I will be kissing those cheeks again!
