Cassidy 1 month old!Hard to believe that Cassidy is already one month old, but it's true. We went to her one month check-up yesterday and she is doing very well. She grew one inch (currently 20 1/2 inches) and gained 2 pounds exactly (currently 9 pounds); she is in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. It was good to hear she's getting enough to eat, because somedays I was really wondering. She did have to get the second of her Hepatitis shots and she HATED that. The minute they put the needle in her face was bright red and she screamed like I've never heard before. I felt so bad and last night was a bit of a rough night with her feeling under the weather as a result of the shot. She was very fuzzy and had a low temp (another not pleasant experience was Brian getting her temperature-why again is it best to do a rectal temp for infants?!?)
Luckily once we got her to sleep last night she did ok, and seems to be back to normal today. I'm really not looking forward to the 2 month check-up that has more shots and should make her feel even more miserable.
Here are some new pics.
We had visitors last week our friends Mary, Julian and their daughter Kayleigh. Kayleigh is 6 months old so she will be able to show Cassidy the ropes as they continue to have play dates. (She really wasn't sleeping here, she just looks like it.
And they're off....well sort of. Cassidy did manage to move herself a little bit across the floor by gripping her toes and scooting. Someday they'll actually be able to race-perhaps next summer when we all go camping together.
Unfortunately last week we made our first sick visit to the doctor. Cassidy had been spitting up (which she usually doesn't do) and was gagging and was gasping for breath on occassion. We went and met our pediatrician (he's great, very thorough and super great with new parents). He thinks it is acid reflux so she is now on drops three times a day to help out. It has definitely been helping, which is good because the gasping for breath and gagging is a very scary sound. The first time we gave her the medicine I wish I could have gotten a picture-the look on her face was hilarious. She is getting better at taking the medicine, but she still hates it.
Last night we introduced Cassidy to Scrabble. She of course is a genius and is winning the game (to be completed tonight). We hope you've enjoyed the picture update.
