It's that time again!
Here are our growing girl's current stats:
12 pounds 15 ounces (22nd %ile)
23 1/2 inches (12th %ile)
Head Circumference 42 cm (84th %ile)
She was a gem and did so well for Kathy, who kept commenting upon what a perfect combination she was of her brothers. Malone checked out great; she is eating and sleeping well, and meeting the handful of developmental milestones she should for her age.
"Hooray for a good report!"
Of course, we rounded out our time there with more vaccinations, which are never fun for Baby (or Mommy); thankfully, Malone calmed down with some snuggles and was good to go as soon as I got her tucked in her carrier to leave.
"WHAT?! More pinches??"
Our time in doctor's office was pretty short, but Kaiser managed to sneak my camera away and had a little fun taking self-portraits while I chatted with Miss Kathy.
Silly boy.
Wednesday Kaiser returned to school after the holiday. He was happy to get back to his teachers and friends, and I took advantage of the couple of hours I had with just Porter and Malone to run some necessary errands. Other than that, our day was pretty boring.
Hulk, Batman, and the Gang pretty much go everywhere with us nowadays.
Thursday I drug the kiddos with me out to Robinson to make a run to Hobby Lobby run. Not the easiest to take all three of them to a store where there are breakables left and right, but we managed well enough and got some knick-knacks to prep the house for showing soon. We got home right before naptime; Porter went down first, and then Kaiser asked if he could join Malone and me in her room to read books before she went to bed.
Tight squeeze with my sweet snugglers.
Daddy had a research meeting after work, followed by practice with our church's worship band, so I was flyin' solo with the kiddos that night. We had ravioli for dinner, and Porter requested to have spinach salad like Big Brother and Mommy. I doubted he'd like it, but figured we'd give it a try. And, surprise, surprise...
He loved it!
Wearing quite a bit of his meal and needed a good scrub afterward.
Friday meant school once again for Kaiser.
Who's excited for the weekend? This guy!
After dropping our big boy off, Porter, Malone, and I ran to Bottom Dollar and Target before coming home briefly to nurse. During the short stretch that we were in the house, it started snowing. When we got in the van to pick Kaiser up, I realized that the roads had gotten really bad, really quickly. Fortunately, with slow driving and constant prayer, we made it to and from school safely. Needless to say, we were homebound the rest of the day and night! Brett was tied up late at the hospital, so the kiddos had more Mommy time. Among other things, Maloney Baloney logged some time in the exersaucer.
Serious business.
Wild Friday night with my peeps. :)
Saturday, instead of venturing out in the cold, we stayed in our pjs, played trains and superheroes, watched The Little Mermaid, and put fresh coats of paint on our interior doors (well, I tackled that last part myself).
Taking a break to share cookies with Sissy.
Porter wanted to make sure Malone got a bite of every one.
Daddy had only anticipated going in to round that morning, but was on call and ended up having to work the majority of the day (darn snow!). He got home a little after 5:00 and brought along dinner from Church Brew Works. (Side note: We may have to make special trips back to Pittsburgh just for their incredible pizza and French onion soup!)
Oh, and after we ate, I realized that I hadn't bathed our baby girl since last Sunday night, so I went ahead and did that. Go me.
"Thanks for finally gettin' around to it, Mom!"
Some fun with hair clippies after our blow dry.
Sunday morning Brett was playing guitar at church, so he had to go straight there right after rounding. I decided to take the kiddos to second service, so that we would have plenty of time to get ready and that afterward we could all come home together.
Her brothers served her a slice of pizza for a mid-morning snack.
"Tell me again, why is this 'tummy time' thing necessary??"
After church, we came straight back to eat lunch, then during naptime Brett and I worked around the house. He patched ceilings, I cleaned windows with toothpicks, q-tips, and a toothbrush -- fun times. I cooked (really cooked) for the first time in a while, so we enjoyed dinner, then the boys played a couple rounds of hide-and-seek while I tended to a certain fussy little lady.
Ready or not, here he comes!
Screaming when he found Daddy.
Well, I think that about brings us up-to-date. Ready to tackle another week! (Well, as ready as we can be...)
