Update on Da Baby

Madigan had her 4 month well check today. She weighs 14 pounds 4 ounces. She measures 26.25 inches. Her weight is in the 70th percentile for her age and her height is off the chart (105th percentile we guessed). Overall she is happy and healthy. She received one oral vaccine and 4 shots. She cried when the nurse put on the band-aids and that was it.

This morning Madigan woke up at 5am and ate. Kirsten laid her back down in her crib for a short nap. Kirsten went in to wake her at 6:30am and could not find her. Madigan normally is laid in her crib with her head at the 12 o'clock position. Kirsten could not find her because her head was at the 7 o'clock position. She had managed to turn herself around 180 degrees. How we do not know.

Kirsten, Christopher, and Madigan went to dinner with their friends Sean, Jennifer, and Macie on Saturday at McMenamins Grand Lodge. Macie is 2 weeks younger than Madigan. They originally had the same due date. It was interesting to compare Madigan and Macie. Madigan is so long while Macie is so chubby. They both smile alot and love to suck on their hands and fingers. Someday they will be play friends.

Madigan had a touch of a cold last week. Christopher had a cold the week before and we were just waiting for her to come down with it. She sounds a bit congested but that is about it.

Madigan has found her voice and loves to screech, scream, squeal, and make other high pitched noises. The cat has taken to hiding in the garage and the dogs want to go outside to escape her sounds.

It appears that Madigan's eyes are turning green. We cannot tell if they will be a true green or a hazel shade. Her hair is still reddish but her eyelashes are black. Her eyebrows are the same color as her hair and sparse.

Madigan loves to smile and enjoys being out and about. On Wednesday she begins class with Kirsten at Pacific University. Hopefully that agrees with her and she can continue to go.

That's all for now.
