5 1/2 weeks and pictures

Elise is 10 lbs, 8 oz as of today. I can't believe she's gained 3 pounds since she was born (more, if you consider the weight lost after birth). That puts her in the 85th percentile for weight and 50th for height (21 inches now). It's ok, we like our chunky little monkey. :)

As a side note...I've heard other parents talk about how awful it is to watch their children get shots at the doctor. I didn't fully realize how true that is until today. She was already upset because I managed to schedule the appointment for right when she wanted to eat (of course I couldn't have known, aside from Murphy's Law), and her cries after the shot were heart-wrenching. Hopefully I'll be more prepared next time, although I think they have to give her 4 shots (not just one) then.

Here are a bunch of pictures, old and new.

we kept forgetting to take a family picture - this is the first one, and she was already a week old! (4/5/13)
