Doctor's Appointment

Juliana went the the doctor today. They were concerned that she wasn't gaining weight like she should. When she was born she weighed 8lbs. 12oz, today she weighed in at 9lbs .6oz. She is still the same length, but the doctor said that she is in the 72nd percentile for weight and the 81st percentile for height. He was very, very impressed. I think that she is going to be fine. Juliana is also starting to get a real personality. She does very well at holding her head up for almost 20 seconds at a time sometimes. The other day when I put her on her back on a blanket, she rolled over on her side, but not all the way. I think she's trying to grow up a little too fast, but when you're that smart, how can one hold her back? These pictures are a good example of how she does when she's almost done eating. These pictures show a good representation of her mother and her father. :)

where's the "mother" part of the representation? I see one brilliant child, pretty groggy, but still brilliant (or so I've been told)... and one dad who appears to be watching tv with aforementioned brilliant child on his lap. But you said something about a good representation of the mom?? Do I hold the picture sideways or something? (-:

Oh, well. as for her not growing... you seem to be doing something right! 9lb 6 oz! Nice job, mama!! No wonder the doc was impressed.
