almost

I almost got a smile on camera.  Well, I did....but it's a very bad, blurry picture.  Shoot.  Oh well, you can sort of get the idea.

And here's the rest of the (non-smiling) photo shoot.  Once I get the camera out, she stares at the camera and is too distracted to smile.  Here she is, now 9 weeks old.

Here's the update about her doctor's appointment last week.  We had to see a different doctor, not our regular doctor.  She was very concerned about how much Rebecca's eating, and told me I need to cut back to 25 ounces a day (she was eating 30-35 ounces!).  She weighed 12 pounds, 14 ounces, which is the 90th percentile.  She said ideally she should be in the 70-75% range, since her height and head circumference are there.  I felt terrible about putting my two month old on a "diet," and cutting back so drastically.  It just didn't feel right, though I did feel like she was eating too much.  But they always tell you you can't overfeed a baby, as long as they're not spitting up (which she rarely does).  I talked to our regular doctor the next day because I was so concerned about it.  She was much less concerned than this other doctor, which made me feel better, but did say it would be a good idea to cut back a bit.  We have cut back a little, and as a result, she's not sleeping as well at night (she was going all night, and now she's getting up again), so I don't know if it has to do with eating less or not.  I can't decide what to do--feed her what she wants or do what the doctor says.  Parenting is tough! (and this is the easy part!)

She also wants to have her evaluated by a physical therapist because of her severe 'pigeon toes.'  We can't get in until the beginning of September, so it'll be awhile before I know anything about that.  It sounds like it's something that shouldn't be too difficult to fix, though, so I'm glad we're starting early.  (You can see how her toes point in up in some of the pictures above.)

By the way, that is a 3-6 month onesie she's wearing!  She's only two months old!  Rachel was always behind in the sizing....Rebecca is now ahead.  Uh oh, I hope that doesn't mean the seasons of Rachel's clothes will be wrong for Rebecca!! (She's still wearing some 0-3 month stuff...but she's outgrown some of it, and some of the 3-6 month things fit.)
