I was just going to post an update from Nora's doctor's appointment today, but then decided to share these photos as well. Now obviously Nora is not actively participating in the photo shoot shenanigans like Henry is, but doesn't it look like she knows what she's doing and posing on purpose with Henry? And of course Wilbur couldn't let me get the camera out without trying to make a cameo appearance as well!
So, anyhow, Nora's appointment went really well. She looks fantastic - growing like crazy. She weighed in at 9 pounds, 14 ounces; which is a gain of 17 ounces in 14 days, or 8 1/2 ounces a week. They look for a gain of 5 to 7 ounces a week at this age, so this is awesome. She is 23 inches long now. She is measuring just like her brother, in the high percentiles (80s) for height and low percentiles (20s) for weight.
I made an appointment with her pediatrician's office's lactation consultant for next week to get some advice on her latch. Although she is clearly having no problems transferring milk, I can tell there is a problem with her latch and I'd like to get some help correcting it before it worsens or causes any (more) problems.
