It was such a perfect spring day today, which means photo op in the in backyard with our new rosebush. I'm excited to finally have roses...makes me think of cutting roses from Mimi & Papa's bush in their backyard. Uh...anyway, the point of this post is to update for Millie's new stats from her pediatrician appt today: head 17.5 inches (60th percentile), length 28.5 inches (75th percentile), weight 16 lbs, 15 oz (12th percentile). Can somebody please get this kid a sandwich?! Dr. Averitt assured us that she is healthy and growing and that her weight is nothing to be alarmed by. She reiterated that breastfed babies tend to peak early. We are supposed to add in another meal (to make 3 meals a day) and make sure she gets 24 oz of formula/breastmilk per day. Maybe a little extra food will help fatten her up. Although, I'm quite surprised that she has only gained 1.5 lbs from her 6 month appt because she seems so fatty patty lately. I was sure that at least 1 lb had been gained in her cheeks alone. Other than the stats, there isn't much news from the appt; she is developing right on schedule, and thankfully, there were no shots today.
Random: here are some iPhone Camera app pics from this past week...
doesn't she look mischievous here?!sometimes dad lets her back out of the garage on saturday morning donut trips
Mimi did a great job on the new bibs!
We went to the nursery on saturday to pick up some new stuff for our landscaping and barely squeezed it all into the jeep with Millie in the back. She was quite vocal on the way home; I guess she was talking to the forest behind her.
here she is trying to decide what she should play with next...it takes concentration
those teeth are so cute when she smiles
Since Millie is LOVING the swing so much, we've been making almost daily trips up to the neighborhood playground. Such a cool cat...
