First (Real) Doctor's Visit!!!!

So today we took the little lady to her first (real) doctor's visit with our pediatrician. Our pediatrician went on vacation the day Mackenzie was born and returned the day after her two week check-up, so this was the first time he saw her.
They weighed her (10 pounds - 25th percentile) and measured her (23 3/4 inches - 90th percentile). And at the end they stuck her with three needles which was the most horrible thing I have even been through.
The scream of terror is indescribable, and I fear that she will blame me for that pain for years to come. Other than that, she was a very good girl, considering that she was super tired, half-naked, and very hungry.

My Morning Stretching Routine....

And now for something ..........

Relaxing in Del Mar

So my mom and dad took me to Southern California last weekend. We stayed in Del Mar, met some friends in downtown San Diego for lunch (Ramz and Co.), had dinner out on the town (Luke and Amy), had breakfast in Solana Beach (Mike, Theresa and Ross). It was great - and except for one accident at dinner, I went easy on mom and dad. Really, most of my time was sitting around the resort, swimming in my indoor pool, and going for long walks with my old man (he couldn't hack it - passed out after our walk).

Twice in a Week!

Well my last swimming workout worked so well I thought I would take my dad back to the pool tonight. This time, we swam for a lot longer. I even did a back float and we bounced around for a bit. It was great! But when we got out, the wind was a bit chilly and I had to take a nice warm bath.

Taking My First Dip With Dad!!!

Well I didn't want to say anything, but dad hasn't been making it to the pool quite as often as he should be going. So today, after a long day of sleeping and visiting my cousins Abby and Eve, and a few aunts and uncles, and grandma and grandpa, I decided it was time I took matters into my own hand. So I took Dad to the pool and made him do a few laps. It just so happened to be my first time in the pool also!

Keep up Dad

Ok. First, let's get something straight.... If I am going to work out everyday with tummy time, streching, and no snacking between my 8 meals a day, I expect my dad to record my big accomplishments when they happen. For example, the other day I am laying on my mom and dad's bed and I think to myself, "hey I haven't tried rolling over, maybe I should give that a try." So I go ahead and roll over. Well, dad decides to record only a little bit of my roll. What is up with that?



Anyways, next time I do something cool, I expect dad to get it all down on tape, and not just a few moments. Keep up dad - things aren't going to get any slower for you.
