Well believe it or not Miss Mallory is 3 weeks old today. It's still taking some getting used to again. You forget about all the little things involved with a newborn when you wait pratically 4 years in between. I forgot about the sleepless nights, dirty diapers, feedings, laundry, and merely the time it takes to get you and the baby ready to go somewhere plus you can't forget about the four year old running around slowing things down. I don't think we will ever be anywhere on time again.
At Mallory's 2 week appointment on December 7th she weighed 6 lbs. 2 oz and was 19 1/2 iches long. That is a complete 1 lb weight gain in just two weeks. She is doing remarkably well and is more alert when awake, but sleeping and eating remain top priority. She is still a very content baby. We could not ask for anything better.
Looking back almost 4 years ago Dalton weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz and was 20 inches long at his 2 week appointment. Dalton was 6 lbs. 11 oz and 20 inches long when he was born at 40 weeks. Mallory was 5 lbs. 12 oz and 19 1/2 iches long when she was born at 37 weeks. Dalton better look out at the rate Mallory is growing she will be bigger then him in no time.
Here are a few pictures over the last couple of weeks.

The fingers must taste good because they are always in the mouth.
Ready for bed.
We can both sleep just about anywhere when you are up and down all day long.
