Madeleine is growing fast!
She had her 2 week check-up over a week ago now (February 5th). The doctor said that she was very happy with her weight gain and growth. She was up to 6lbs. 8oz. and measured 21 inches. That put her in the 5th percetile for weight and the 50th for height! Tall and skinny! I'm sure she's grown a lot since then too. It seems like some days you can almost notice the difference from the day before! She is very busy lately eating to keep up with her growing needs.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Good Dogs

Those of you who know the dogs know that while they are friendly to a fault, they are high energy and perhaps not the best behaved dogs. This caused more than a little worry before Madeleine was born because we were unsure of how the dogs would react. Fortunately, Digby and Bowie have been excellent with Madeleine. Digby wants to give her kisses (which we discourage) and guard her and the rest of the family. Bowie has discovered her maternal instinct and acts as Madeleine's nanny. When Madeleine is feeding, Bowie will not allow Digby within five feet of Mel and Madeleine and stands vigil nearby.
