Pumpkin Head

Rob says Roxi is developing a very proper pumpkin head, and I must agree. Pumpkin head, Buddha belly and double chin ... just like a good baby should. In our eyes, she is getting more adorable every day. Please note though that we are more than a little biased.

Roxi got weighed yesterday at my breastfeeding support group. The breastfeeding part of this equation is still not happening; I am pumping milk and feeding it to her via bottle. So she's still getting mama's milk ... just not exactly the way nature intended. Oh well, she's been a non-conformist like that from the beginning: she presented breech late in the pregnancy so we had a procedure done to flip her around, she proceeded down the birth canal during labor only to get stuck at the last second, she came out through the sunroof and now she's insisting on having her food her way. We've got a live one, I tell ya.

Anyway, the upshot of all of this is that she's happy, healthy and gaining weight like a champ. She's up to a whopping 9 pounds, 14 ounces now. Go girl.
