Happy 1 month Birthday Elizabeth!

Our baby girl is one month old today - is that possible? Of course, the only pictures I got of her today were fresh from the bath and bundled in her blanket but you get the idea! When I think back to the fear and apprehension of my pregnancy with her I am amazed that it has already been one month since she got here safely and as healthy as any baby I have ever seen. Our girl is an absolute joy and we are blessed beyond measure!

Vital stats from the pediatrician today

10 pounds, 23 3/4 inches.

She is in the 95th percentile for height and the 75th for weight.

She is growing perfectly and the nurses were shocked that she had not lost any of her beautiful dark hair - Molly is happy because she thinks that her dark hair makes Lizzie looks like Molly!

Our little angel - one month old!

"Who needs Santa when I have Grandma!"
Auntie Beth and Auntie Meg got this onesie for Lizzie and she looked adorable in it - with all of that dark hair red seems to be one of her best colors!

I wish I had gotten a full body shot because the little pants looked so cute on her skinny little legs!

Annie went for her 15 month appointment with Lizzie today - brilliant idea - me thinking that taking two babies to the pediatrician by myself would work out well for anyone. Poor Annie and Lizzie both got shots and - as you can imagine - Mommy only has the ability to provide so much comfort at one time. Annie got her 4 shots first and as she was still whimpering in my arms it was time for Lizzie's shots - she screamed her head off sending Annie into a new set of convulsions! It was great fun - next time Daddy is coming - and possibly some more reinforcements.
Annie stats are as follows:

23 pounds 12 ounces, 31 inches

95th percentile for height and 75th for weight and looking great.
She is incredibly healthy and her ears are clear still - I think this may be the longest we have ever gone with no infections - Allelluiah!

Molly went to her first Daisies (the beginning step for Brownies and Girl Scouts) meeting on Tuesday and had a blast. She met a few new friends and made a project - she has asked every day since when she can go back! She starts selling cookies on December 20th so get your orders in now!

I had all sorts of plans for tomorrow - go visit people at work, Christmas shoppping but if it's still raining tomorrow I'm going to just hang in the house with the girls - Ahhhh - the joys of maternity leave!

GNM - ILY!
