Ok, so Michelle yelled at me (not really) because I didn't put up a post with Maddison's stats from her 2 month Dr. appointment. Yes, it was the appointment with her first shots. Those of you that have kids know -- that sucks. Horribly. I've never felt so helpless in my life. I mean, your kid is in pain like they have never felt before and you can't yell at anyone for doing it to them. Yeah, you could yell at the nurse for stabbing your kid after you told them to, but you see the folly in that.
Anyway....it sucks.
The better part of the appointment is when you find out that she's doing well in all respects. As of 08/25 Maddison was 10 lbs. 12 oz. and 23 1/2 inches. And they're completely happy with those numbers....so yay!
She is really showing a personality now. She gets bored fairly easily, so we continuously have to keep changing what she's doing. She's also started to fight going to sleep already. That's fun. She doesn't like to be cradled anymore, unless she's eating. She prefers to sit or stand, supported of course. It's weird how they'll be really "advanced" in some ways but not in others. At least that's according to the "what they should be able to do" list, anyway. For example, "they" say she should enjoy laughing now....but she hasn't really laughed yet. But "they" also say that she should be able to hold her own weight on her legs when she's around 5 - 6 months old. Well, she's supporting her own weight now. So whatever....
Well, back to it for me....here are a couple pics from this past weekend (yes, included on my personal pic site too) from when we watched the Penn State vs. Syracuse game together!! Added bonus, she seems to like football....or maybe it's just all the activity. At any rate, it's the only TV she really gets to watch right now, so she'd better enjoy it. :-)
