Scrooge

Call it the Winter Blues. Call it the Bah Humbugs. But I just don't feel like talking to anyone right now. Or blogging. Which is why I haven't posted in some time.

Maggie's doing about the same. She's teething, so that's made feeding more difficult. She tries, the poor kid. But that hyper-gag reflex is our nemesis.

She and I are both currently fighting colds, and truly, she's far more cheery a patient than I.

Here are some pictures from this month-- Christmas tree shopping and decorating, the Please Touch Museum with my dear "online-turned-real" friends Anne, Abby, and Sharon (and their former preemie sweeties), and waiting for Santa to drive by in his firetruck.

Approaching The Curve

Today, I took Maggie for her {gasp} 18 month check up at the pediatrician. Drumroll please:

18 pounds, 15 ounces (still not on the growth curve at all, but getting closer!!!)
30 inches long (10th percentile)
17 inches head circumference (5th percentile)

Dr. Meyer was very pleased with Maggie's progress. Instead of seeing her in 6 months, for her 2 year visit, however, he'd like to see her in 3 months to keep an eye on her growth.

Maggie had an uneventful Halloween. She boycotted her afternoon nap, and ended up falling asleep at 5:30pm. Poor kid pretty much slept through all the Trick or Treating!!

Earlier in the month, we celebrated my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary with a party in Cape Cod. Below are some pictures from the party, as well as a couple of our Fairy Princess on Halloween!
