Doctor's visit

Alley ventured back to the doctor yesterday for her 2 week check-up to see how much she had grown and to make sure she was doing well. I was a little concerned about whether or not she had gained enough weight, she falls asleep while eating all the time!! So, I was antsy about seeing what the doctor would say. She ended up having an excellent appointment. She now weighs 6lbs 15oz (she gained 11oz in one week - go girl!) and is 20 inches long (she grew an inch since birth). Dr. D said her skin looked great (she had a little jaundice at birth) and she was definitely growing the way they had hoped...whew! So mom, dad and Alley left the doctors office feeling better. Here are some recent photos of our growing girl.
A tiny girl in a big car seat...silly:)
I think our animals are a tad jealous of this new creature and all the attention she is getting!
I couldn't pass this up...her stocking is bigger than she is!! And no, we decided against trying to stuff her in the stocking, even though I am positive she would have fit just fine;)
I couldn't pass up this face!!! I have no clue what she is doing, but it was funny!
