4 lbs WOOHOO!

Monday we went to the pediatrician and here is the latest. Our little girl has gained 4 lbs!!! Yay Maddie Mae :) She is now 8 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long. She is in the 5th percentile for weight but has not even made it on the charts for length or head size. Her doctor was impressed that she made it onto the charts at all and said that she does not seem to be far behind her full term 2 month old patients. The down side of the appointment was vaccinations... so sad to see those tears but she seemed to bounce back pretty well. With her weight gain and development we can now work on her sleep at night without worrying about waking her before she wakes on her own, very exciting!

Below there are a couple of pictures I took today of Maddie, a picture of Maddie taken yesterday in her sweet camo shoes, a picture of Jeff's work in our back yard mid-project (a much needed project that is HUGE evoking the words "what have I done!" repeatedly from Jeff's mouth) and a video of our little girl.

So glad she is growing well! It is nice to see chubby cheeks and legs developing on both of our little girls!
