Doctor's visit

We had Madison's one month doctor's appointment today. *Although she is actually 6 weeks now.* She is up to 10 lbs 5 oz and 22 inches long. That puts her in the 75-90th percentile in length and weight. Big girl! Her head is only in the 50th percentile so even though she still has trouble holding it steady sometimes it's still pretty small. :) During her tummy time today she honestly started trying to crawl. She scooted around about 120 degrees and then moved forward 6+ inches using her hands and knees. She's growing up way too fast! She isn't supposed to be doing things like that already. She's been rolling over from her back to her belly when she is on the bed for about a week or so now. She can only make it onto her side when she is on a flat surface but I can tell it is just a matter of time before she goes all the way no matter where she is. Kimberly

One month old!

I can't believe she is a month old already. In some ways it seems like she just got here, while at the same time it feels like she has always been a part of our lives. She has grown and changed so much already that I barely recognize her in her newborn pictures. She is smiling all the time and she finally sleeps at night! That's great news for Mom & Dad! I have to go back to work in 6.5 weeks and I'm dreading that day that I have to leave her at daycare. I wish so much that there were a way for me to afford staying home. I'm going to miss her so much every day. It is completely horrifying to me that she will be spending such a large chunk of every weekday being taken care of by relative strangers. I had better stop thinking about it too much or I will just completely depress myself. We still haven't tried to give her a bottle yet. I know that we have to do it ASAP or she may reject it completely. We had every intention of doing so this past weekend but I just can't bring myself to push the issue and Curtis was pretty busy. When I know she is hungry it is just so easy to take her and feed her myself. I love that time that I just get to sit and be close to Madison. It's like it is my thing with her that no one else can do. I actually think I will be a little sad to see Curtis giving her my milk in a bottle. It just doesn't seem right somehow. It has to be done though if I ever want to go anywhere without her for more than an hour at a time. Which I have to do at the dentist next week so I suppose we better get right on that so if she is hungry she doesn't give Grandma too much grief. :) I'll try to do it in the next day or two for your sake Grandma!
