A day of firsts....

Today was a day filled many firsts for Makenna. She had her first doctors appointment to make sure she was gaining weight. Although she gained weight, I attempted to explain to her that she would probably grow a lot more quickly with a firm diet of steak and cocoa pebbles (it sure worked for me). It was a convincing argument, but she's going to stick to milk for now.

Another first was Makenna's bath. I think she cried enough to fill the baby tub with tears, but after it was all over, she was happy enough to wear her duck towel (see picture above). While Nicki loves the duck towel, it reminds me a bit much of Howard the Duck,



which is unfortunate because nothing good can come from an association with that movie. At least Makenna is the best looking Howard the Duck I have ever seen.

All in all, everything has been going very well and Makenna has been a joy. We'll keep you updated...
