Highlights from Lia’s appointment:

* 75% in length (21 inches)

* 50% in weight (8.3 lbs.)

* 75% head circumference

* doctor raved about Lia’s beautiful round head

* and her strong arms

* and, after the check-up, came back into the room with information about “Not Nursing Your Baby for Sheer Comfort” just when I was latching Lia on after the stressful check-up (technically, she never finished nursing when we left home for the appointment, so I considered it an extended mealtime). Ryan assured me it was purely coincidental. I PROMISE I am doing the sleep/feed/play cycle.
