I can’t believe that McKinna is 2 weeks old today.  Erin and I took her to the doctor for her two week checkup.  She weighs 7lbs now and is 21.25 inches which means she is growing perfectly.  We did experience something unique today.  Up until now she hasn’t had any problems riding her carseat.  This morning however, she threw a FIT when we got her in there.  So much so that we had to postpone going to the grocery store.  When it came time hit the road to go to the MD appointment she freaked out again, however once we were in the car and driving she was quiet as a church mouse.

Thank God.

Other milestones up to the point are:

• Sleeping in her crib in her own room like a big girl
• Staying awake for more than five minutes at a time
• Starting to smile during her sleep
• Loving her mommy and daddy more and more every day

McKinna is was officially one week old and boy has it been a busy one.  Not only did she meet her Mommy and Daddy, but came home to a new house, her own room, met her big sister Miss Cooper, lost the umbilical cord, had her first MD appointment, caught and got over conjunctivitis, and been on several car rides.  Wheww…no wonder she naps so much.

To celebrate, McKinna had her first “offical” bath last night.  What a milestone!!!!!  She acutally took it pretty well.  Erin and I were afraid that she would freak out being wet, but I think that the water was warm enough that she wasn’t too uncomfortable.  In addition, I think it stimulated her enough to wake up for awhile and just stare at Mommy and Daddy which was AWESOME.
