8 weeks?!...and...Roo's home!!

you wouldn't think with thighs like these...

you could get a smile like this...

but nola proves you can and will ;)

(can i just add that i've never seen a more round head and i love every inch of it?!)

she had her 8 week checkup today and did great, despite the shots! she was a trooper and cried on and off for just a little while before napping a bit. her stats:

weight: 14 lbs 13oz.

length: 23 1/2 in.

she's still following her curve for length, but has gone off the chart for weight. the dr. wanted to look at if we were overfeeding her. so we explained our schedule with her, and after hearing how much she eats (4oz. every 2-3 hours), looking at her hands (they're large ;)) and hearing that most of zane's family is tall and my sister's and dad certainly aren't short, he concluded that most likely she's destined to be a tall girl with appropriate weight to match. much like avery :)

(we did get some medicine for her for reflux...it's a small amount and if it helps, great. if not, hopefully she'll outgrow the discomfort soon. :))

this morning we realized roo never came home last night and was still mia this morning. all day i'd go to the door and check to see if she came back for food, but nothing. i started expecting the worst and zane kept telling me that she had found a new family that fed her more and that was keeping her there and happy. i was somewhat glad to not have any definite answer, that way i could just assume she was hanging out in a new kitchen.

then after dinner, i went out on the back deck and called her a few times. nothing. i came inside and went to the front door. opened it and roo BOLTED inside and into the kitchen. she gobbled up one can of food (kicking cleo out of the way) and then roamed around mewing for more.

i think avery was happy to have her home :)
