Little Mouse got her first shot today. I think I was more concerned about it than she was!! Granted, she let everyone in the greater Burbank area know that she had been given said shot.... She had the nurse cracking up because her scream was so drawn out. I swear it felt like she didn't inhale for a solid 30 seconds. That kid has a set of pipes on her!!!! My other kid, Chris, was a big brave dog for his DPT booster... I'm sure he's bummed that he didn't get a lollipop for his efforts.
Mousey weighs 10 lbs 12 oz, she's 22 1/2" long and her head has increased about an inch in circumference. She's in the 95th percentile for height and weight. Her doctor was super impressed with how amazingly perfect she is. (Note: My head no longer fits through the door b/c my daughter is so "amazingly perfect".. His words, not mine.)
Yesterday I was concerned b/c, in my estimation, she wasn't pooping enough. She was straining and generally pissed off at her condition so I lubed up the thermometer and took her temperature to get things going. (For those not 'in the know' when it comes to baby butts and all matters relating to pooping, if you put a thermometer in their bum they poop.) About an hour later the fecal avalanche came issuing forth. Well, this afternoon, we had avalanche part deux. No thermometer required. So, it's my sad duty to inform everyone that at 5:00 pm PST Elmo went to the big Sesame Street in the sky. He was minding his own business, just chilling out on the front of Carolyn's diaper. Now, he's covered in poop. RIP Elmo.. you were a great guy and you did a good job protecting Chris' chest from the poop-storm that Carolyn unleashed.
We're slowly making progress unpacking the new apartment. Some day, I swear, we'll be done. But, even with box-hell, I love the new place. It has so much more room and it's just way nicer in general than our old place.
Life is good :)
