she's a porker!

May 20, 2009

She sleeps in some of the funniest positions.

So yeah, was a pretty normal day today. It was a friend of Daddy's birthday, so some of them were going our jet skiing. So Lil Miss and I went down to work early this morning, since we were trying to get a bill out today at work. Lil Miss had a minor melt down this morning -- nothing bad, but she was fussy, so I was holding her and had to go tell Charles a client was on the phone. She flailed a little bit as I was turning to leave his office and go back to my desk and she hit her head on the door frame. Not hard, but enough to cause a little melt down.

I felt horrible.

After that, she didn't really want to be put down, but she didn't really necessarily have to be cradled and there was some typing I had to do. So what did I do? I sat her up in my lap, lowered my chair a little and typed with her there in my lap. She was happy and I could work. Charles came out and saw if and just laughed. He said he wished he had a camera because it was one of the cuter things he'd seen.

I almost wish I had a picture of it too!

Our daughter is a porker -- she tries to eat everything!!! (including, here, her Pooh Bear blanket)

So Lil Miss and I had an appointment with the WIC nutritionist this morning to get her formula checks switched over to soy. No big deal, she just seems to be doing much better on the soy formula and the nutritionist has to see you to switch anything. She weighed me (116) and then, because I was curious and asked, weighed Lil Miss.

Lil Miss, on her eight week birthday, is 11 lbs 1 oz and 22 inches long. She's gained almost 4 pounds and 3 inches. No wonder my arms get tired after carrying and bouncing her all day! She's getting big!

The nutritionist said she's growing very well and seems to be doing just fine. She has her actual two month check up with her doctor next Wednesday and then her first immunization shots (NOT looking forward to that!) next Thursday. I'll let y'all know what the doctor says, obviously.

With my little one, out early tonight.

It apparently must have been a long day for Lil Miss because she actually put herself to sleep about an hour or so early tonight. She just slept in my arms that last hour, because she was too cute, sweet and cuddly to put down. Look at that picture -- could YOU have put her down?

Didn't think so.

I can't wait for all of y'all that haven't met her to meet her, and for those of you who have to see her again. She's getting her own little personality. She smiles and almost laughs. She wants to crawl SO bad. Everyone says she's just the cutest, sweetest little baby.

I think I might have to agree.
