Six weeks old! Smiles forthcoming...

Disco fabulous, no?

Maddy continues to grow and develop amazingly, and her personality shines through more and more with each passing day. We weighed her on our kitchen scale, and she's up to 8.5 pounds! Her one-month pediatrician appointment went great--she is growing on schedule and the doctor was very happy with her progress. She had he follow-up hepatitis vaccine, and she cried heartily, but overall, she was a trooper, our Maddy. Visitors come and go, and everyone comments on how beautiful she is, how good-natured, how sweet, how alert. Indeed, she is tracking our movements closely with her eyes. At six weeks today, she definitely seems on the verge of giving us her first social smiles. Her neck and torso strength is amazing for someone her age. She is starting to sleep more at night, giving us one 4.5 to 6 hour period per night, plus additional shorter periods. Her fingernails are getting longer--to the point where we are faced with the prospect of having to cut them soon, lest she scratch herself. Wish us luck!


She is ready for her close-up, isn't she?
