So I took Ada back to the doctor today to see if she had put the weight back on that she had lost. We wanted to make sure that everything looked good before taking off for 3 months.
Well, it looks like we just had a hungry baby! Ada gained over 3 pounds in the last month (or 5 weeks). Such a relief. AND she has been the happiest baby on the block. I would be pretty upset if my mom stopped feeding me just as I was getting going. We now load her up with all sorts of goodness so there is no complaining from her! I was so relieved, but still feel badly that she was just not getting enough to eat. Sigh...at least next baby I will know.
Current Stats:
Weight: 18lbs 5 0z (70th percentile)
Height: 28" (90th percentile)
Head: 17 1/2 " (80th percentile)
Her head is finally catching up with the rest of her body.
Oh, and I don't remember if I mentioned it, but she has two teeth...and she has bitten me a few times now (I still nurse in the morning)!! Neither of us were happy campers this morning. She did not like my reaction when she clamped down on the ..... :) (and no, she was not hurt, I just made a loud noise and it scared her)
Hopefully she learned not to do that.

congrats on the big weight gain, Ada! that's a good girl :). What a relief. aren't those new little teeth so sharp? that's a feeling that's hard to forget. Hopefully she's done trying them out on Mom.
such good news! My kids didn't weigh that much until they were close to one year!!
all right ada! except for the biting. bad, bad ada.
i doubt that's the only time she gets you :-/ unless you quit altogether. glad she's healthy! come visit if you get bored :)
That's great news! Congrats!
So glad that Ada is gaining some weight! And SOOOO happy that you guys will be here soon! Please call me so we can hang out! Landen goes to preschool over at Coleman, so we could even hang out in the mornings or whatever and then I could take him to school. I'm totally planning it all out, but I'm really really excited that you'll be here! :) Oh, also... will you please ask Jenny (Hill) to add me to her blog list? She leaves comments on mine, but I can't see hers. Funny. My email is gleasonfam@hotmail.com
