Adalyn's the winner

The winner of what you may ask?  Well, she was the first one to make Elli cry. We knew it would happen some time.  We just didn't know when or who would be the culprit.  Thankfully, it wasn't anything malicious and it was a pure accident. 

Elli was actually laying in my lap on Monday night when Addi went running past me with a soccer ball.  It simply fell out of her hands and bopped Elli on the head from about 3-4 inches away.  I think it scared her more than anything else because she was just starting to drift off to sleep.  Poor Addi felt so bad.  Her demeanor changed and she became very, very sad.  We just explained to her that accidents happen and that we just need to be careful around the baby.  But for the rest of the night, she really wasn't in a playful mood. 

Miss Elliana had her two week appointment on Monday as well.  She has officially surpassed her birth weight.  She was 8lbs 8oz two days ago and they measured her to be 22 inches!!  Hmmm.  She was measured at 20 1/2 inches at birth.  Something tells me that she didn't grow an inch and a half in two weeks!  I actually think she's somewhere in between simply based on how her sleepers fit.  Oh well, measuring an infant is such an inexact science - lay them on a table and try to force their leg straight.  Not easy to do.
