Valentines & the 1-Month Check-up

David was the only boy in his MDO class today & he raked it in! Some kids brought Valentines from home & others made them in class. The cute photo of David standing by the heart flowers is a magnet for Mom's fridge! : )

Today was Elizabeth's 1-month check-up at the doctor's office. She's actually 5 weeks old today. At her 2-week, she weighed her birth weight of 7 lbs, 12 oz. Today she was up to 9 lbs, 5 oz! And she was 21 3/4" long (born 20). Dr. S finished removing the umbilical cord stump thingie - it had been hanging on quite tightly by one "thread". In 2 days she'll be able to take a real bath, now! Everything else was fine; he was very impressed with how much she'd grown. No shots or pricks today. Those will resume at her 2-month appointment.
