Chunky Monkey!

We took Marleigh to get weighed today. My guess was 6lbs 4oz. Daddy's guess was 6lbs 2oz. Both of us have commented on how big she's getting just in the last week or so. She's been eating a lot more, too. To our surpise, Marleigh was 7lbs 1oz!!! However, we did weigh her with her clothes on this time. But how much can her clothes weigh?!? Surely not more than 5-6oz max. So, we'll say she's at least 6lbs 11oz. We are so glad she's growing!

Two weeks ago when we were at the dr., he said if she goes two weeks with no A&B's we could ditch the monitor. Well, she's done great! Her last A&B was over 7 weeks ago. So, we took it off last night. Marleigh loved it! It was so tight around her little chest. If you didn't have the little band cinched down tight, it would alarm that it wasn't making a good connection. Now we can carry her anywhere in the house without worrying about her wires & having her monitor plugged in!

Crazy Grandma (Grandna Cline that's what she calls herself) came in today. She will be watching Marleigh when I go back to work next week. But, I'm lucky... its only part time! For the first time, someone other than Marc or I fed Marleigh. Both Grandma & Marleigh did great. What a relief.

Marleigh & I took her first trip that wasn't to the doctor. We stopped by the bank. Everyone couldn't believe how much she looks like Marc.

Here are some pictures that Aunt Monica took last weekend.

  12. Oh, I can't wait to see her! She is absolutely beautiful, and yes she is a mini Marc!! But I know she has a lot of her mommy in there too!! Glad to hear she is thriving so well. Keep it up Marleigh!! I talked to Crazy Grandma the other day and she was pretty excited about watching her while you go back to work Sarah. I told her I was jealous!! Take care and our love to all of you!
