Today was her one month appointment. It appears all those late night feedings (Thanks, Dad!) are paying off. She weighs 9 lbs. 4 ozs.! I could certainly tell- it seems the almost two pounds she’s gained since her birth is stored up in her cheeks. She’s now ready for winter!

Of course it happened while I wasn’t here (and not just at work: out-of-town at work), but my awesome Better Half got a picture of one of them. Since then she’s produced several more, and this morning was the first time I got to be the recipient of a few.
