2 weeks

Today Libby had her 2 week check-up. (Technically 2 weeks is tomorrow, but this worked for the doctor). She is up to 7 lbs 4 oz now and is 20 1/2 inches long. That means she's grown an inch in 2 weeks! Crazy. She is very healthy. At the appointment the first thing they do is weigh her, so I have to strip her down. While she was on the scale, she peed everywhere--the scale and the counter were covered. It was just lovely. The nurse assured me it happens often and cleaned it all up. Last time we were there she also peed on the scale, only not as much. What a little stinker. At the appointment they had to finish up the PKU tests, so that meant they poked her foot to get some blood samples. They had to do both feet b/c they couldn't get enough out of the first one. Libby was not happy about any of this. She cried almost the entire visit, it was very sad. She seemed very happy to be dressed and put in the car seat.

Her hair is lightening up a lot and it looks a bit curly on the sides. I am hoping it's not just b/c she really needs a bath b/c the curls are really cute! Libby is a very sweet baby. She is staying awake more now and is looking around a lot more, it's lots of fun. She makes the funniest noises (sometimes a weird grunting noise and also these weird squeaky noises) and makes lots of funny faces, especially while she sleeps. Makes me wonder what she dreams about.

  2. Aw, so fun. Eliza once pooped all over the nurse AND peed on the doctor in the same visit. Good times!

  3. I always wondered how they kept kids from peeing on the scale. I guess now I know. THey don't:)
