One Month Appointment

Maddux had her one-month well-visit with the pediatrician today. Not that I was concerned about her weight, but she comes in at the 75th percentile for all measurements. She weighs 9lb. 8oz. (WOW!) and measures 21 1/2" long. That is 'taller' than Eli was at her age. She did not receive any shots today, so the visit was calm and quick. On another pleasant note, a few nights ago Maddux slept for 7 straight hours. How happy was Mom!! Of course I woke up about 6 hours into it and couldn't fall back asleep, as my body was not used to going that long uninterrupted. Not that I expect this will happen regularly for a few more weeks, but it was a nice surprise! She is lifting her head so much more these days also. When I put her down for 'tummy time' she lifts and lifts for about two minutes before she screams in protest to being prone. Speaking of the scream, Eli does NOT like it when she fusses. Maddux has been very unhappy a few times in the car and Eli gets a very upset scowl on his face and looks out the window, ignoring us until she stops.
