Baby's First Halloween!!

Hey Gang,

Hope all is going well for you all, wherever you are! Well it was Ms. Maddie's first Halloween and what a day it was!

She spent most of the day with Daddy, wearing a black onesie that said "Daddy's Little Ghoul" with the picture of a ghost. She was a great baby today, sleeping some, and eating like a PIG. She went through three bottles while mom was at clinicals.

At 4pm we went to Dr. Chandler's for her two month checkup. We found out that she is 11lbs, 10oz (75 percentile), 23.5 inches (90 percentile), and has a head circumference of 15.5 inches (75 percentile). So in short... she is a BIG baby! He was surprised at how alert she was and was really surprised at the control that she has in her neck. He also noticed that she has an umbilical hernia which is normal and makes her belly button pouch out... this usually goes away with no problems.

Then it was on to the vaccines... yuck. Mom and Dad got flu shots and baby had five vaccines that she had to take, administered in three shots to the legs. OH MY GOSH... I have never heard such an upset scream. Courtney cried. But Maddie is very resilient and calmed within five minutes and was asleep in ten! She seems no worse for wear but that was a very traumatic experience.

We were going to take her to the Halloween dance on campus but poor thing is all tuckered out so off to bed. Here are some new pics!
