One Month

We've had Magnolia for exactly one month! What a magical day that was, August 6, 2007!
We celebrated by doing her footprints. Here she is holding them for me. :)

Magnolia sharing dad's breakfast, she'll try anything!
Magnolia had her second doctor visit. It was a rough one. It took 4 tries and 4 people to hold her down to take blood but they still couldn't get it. This is the second visit where they've tried to get blood but she's such a strong squirmer and screams until she turns purple that they're sending us to the hospital next week to try there. She also has an ear infection which she's probably had since we got her! To top it all off, she got her first round of immunizations.
This was all of her bandaids. Seven total but she took one off in her carseat. :)

Magnolia had her first friend over. This is Charlie, my friend's son.
They were so cute together!

Magnolia eating naan, she loves it! Great for teething.



Magnolia gnawing on an "empty" corn on the cob.
You'd think with all she eats, she would be putting on a lot of weight but she's only gained 3 ounces in the past two weeks! Those 3 ounces moved her from the 3rd percentile to the 5th!

Poor baby Magnolia! I hate to see those shots. Too bad about not getting her blood work and that ear infection! Oh my, what a trip!

I love the photos-she looks so happy!
She will 'catch up'~soon enough. Those % are directional tools for you to benchmark growth--forward movement is exactly where you want her to be, not losing. As long as it's positive (not negative) she is "thriving". And, that she is!

She is beautiful, sweet, content & awesome to view thru this blog page. Thanks for posting so regularly! I wish that we could see her, but I'm not sure when that will be...not soon enough! Much love, Emily

The photographs are beautiful, and I was right in thinking that ones of Lucy and Magnolia on the picnic bench at Lake Winnebago would be stunning! It was such fun to be with you. I keep wondering what she is discovering this very minute, and I miss her wonderful sounds and head bobbing so much--also her delicious little hands, chubby legs, beautiful ears and toes.

Much love,
