Playing Catch-Up

For someone who has a newborn who really requires no maintenance besides feeding and changing with an occasional cuddle, it seems like there are never enough hours in the day. At any rate, the last few days have been thankfully quiet.

On Sunday, Reagan enjoyed his first Father's Day. Melita and Bungy gave him some new boxers and he got breakfast in bed. Except that he was already up and showered by the time I got back from picking up his breakfast. Also, for some reason we don't have any photos from Father's Day. I'll blame it on the fact that we had MORE out of town visitors who wanted to see Melita and the day really didn't belong to us.

Monday we went back to the pediatrician where Melita tipped the scales at 8lbs 2oz. I was a little worried that she was bulking up too quick but the doctor was pleased with her progress and said to keep it up. Also, after measuring her head, the nurse commented that there was 'no way her head grew that fast' and re-measured it only to get the same results. No other explanation was given and so now I am little worried that my kids head is getting too big. I don't think it looks abnormally large but I'm starting to question what it is I think I know about babies. The doctor also checked Melita's hip and said that it feels tighter in the socket than before and thinks that we should be getting good news when we see the specialist on the 27th. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she's right.

Today, I popped into Wal-Mart to pick up bottles and formula and spent $60!!! I just don't understand. I purposefully go to Wal-Mart rather than Target so that I am not distracted by pretty stuff and end up walking out with more than I came for. Kids are expensive.

Lastly, in an attempt to show how much Bungy loves his baby, Reagan put Melita in her bouncy chair and walked her out into the middle of the backyard and waited to see what would happen.

PS Bethany don't worry about the blanket and the doll and the sleeping baby. One positive side to the harness is it prevents Melita from wiggling around when she sleeps :)
