Tears

Eloise cried real tears for the first time tonight.

On Monday she had her 2 month shots - glad we didn't have real tears then. I would have been bawling instead of just getting teary.

At 2 months, she remains in the 95% for height, 90% for weight - 23 7/8 inches, 12lb 11oz. Her head measurement moved from 75% to 80%. Doctor said she looked great. Personally, I think that Eloise is longer than 23 7/8 inches. I don't think her leg was all the way straight when the nurse measured her. When I measured her at home she's a bit over 24 inches. But whatever.

At her height and weight, she can wear 6month sized clothes. At 2 months. Oh geez. The 3mo clothes still fit her though, except for the footie pajamas, those just look uncomfortable on her because she can't straighten her legs all the way without the fabric pulling taut.

In other news...
Alex almost fell with Eloise tonight. He was walking her to soothe her and stumbled into the coffee table. Scared us to death. He did not fall, kind of caught his balance at the last second, but Rob hollered "No!" as he saw it happening and between that and Alex clutching her, Eloise started crying and Alex started crying. Hugs and tears all around. Alex didn't want to hold her after that, but I don't want him to be scared of holding his sister. So we sat on the couch and he held her, but handed her off to Rob when she got fussy. I think it'll be a while before he's willing to hold her and walk around again. I still trust him though - he wasn't doing anything goofy or dangerous, it was just an accident that could happen to anyone.

Oh, and Eloise's first tears weren't because of the near fall - they were because I didn't get her on the boob fast enough and she was ticked off and hungry.
