Yesterday Alli and I went to see Dr. Plimpton. He was very happy to see Alli, walked in the room and said "Oh, you brought me a baby!" and immediately took her to hold her. :) We also brought him a picture of the 3 of us after the delivery since he seems to collect them all throughout his office.
Everything is fine with me. I've lost all my baby-weight except for 5 lbs, but I still have a lot of non-firm stuff in the mid-section. :)
Ok. So that's the boring stuff. The fun stuff is more about Alli.
While I have no scale to weigh her, I think she's gained a bit of weight again. She's getting HEAVY!!! And her chubby cheeks and thighs are getting chubbier. :) She appears to like looking at the ceiling fans. I didn't think she could see that far, but maybe she notices the contrast since they are dark brown against an off-white ceiling. She also likes looking at the photos on the TV as they scroll by while music is playing. (This is an Apple TV feature.) She holds her head up really well now - I can pick her up without supporting her head - as long as I don't whip her up. I'm hoping to give her more tummy time to strengthen her neck even more.
We've noticed she really clings to mommy. Dr. Plimpton even said something because she got really fussy when he held her. Granted, she was hungry, but she wasn't fussing in my arms (probably cause she thought there was a chance of a boob whipping out). Kim noticed this on Sunday too. He was with her and I was out to dinner with the girls. He said she cried the whole time, even after he fed her. Not sure what's going on and I'm hoping this is just a phase, but I'll try to let her try to sooth herself more during the day... starting next week. :)
