Carter had her 1 month check up today (though a few days late) and she did great! She is obviously growing as she is now 11 lbs and almost 24 inches long. That is 2 inches and more than 2 lbs in 5 weeks! She did great while we were a the Dr.'s office (minus the blood curdling screams on the way there--she hates the car!) and she did ok when she got a shot. She cried for a bit but calmed down pretty quickly and actually fell asleep in the car. This was a novel concept for us....I was so surprised! I was able to go grocery shopping, get home, unload the car, and unpack the groceries while she slept peacefully in her car seat. I'd like to request a little more of that in the future, please! I hope she gets over the car thing or it is going to be a long few months while we all just listen to her scream whenever we go anyway...we'll see...
The other day in the car, Carter wasn't screaming yet and so I asked Sean what she was doing and his response exactly was, "flailing!". ha ha She was just about to start screaming and she was waving her hands around. I just thought it was funny that is what he said to describe her! He is a pretty good sport while she screams in the car. Luckily, we live close to most everything so it isn't that long of a drive no matter what we need to do.
