We just make them small


So we went for Kinley's 3 month appointment and here are her stats:

Weight: 9-14 (4th percentile)
Length: 22 inches (5th percentile)
Head: 15 inches (5th percentile)

She is almost a pound smaller than her sister at 3 months and she was 5 ounces bigger at birth! My Dr. just said we make small kids. He wants to see her in 6 weeks to make sure she doesn't get too skinny, but for now she is healthy and small. She is a great breastfeeder and I am almost positive she is getting enough (she isn't fussy, lots of wet diapers and she sleeps well at night). She usually sleeps most of the night (9pm-5am), occasionally waking up a bit earlier, then sleeping until 8am! She is quite the talker and loves to smile. She can be put down for long periods of time & play well by herself. Most nights she can put herself to sleep without any crying. She loves her mom, dad and sister and isn't sure about everyone else yet. She refuses a bottle and pacifier, which is going to be hard on dad when I go back to work tonight. Basically she is just the best baby and if all of my babies could be this good, I would have lots! I love you Kinley Coo (her nickname).
