Daddy And Pearl Both Saw A Doctor Today

I went to the Doctor today and had a sebaceous cyst removed from my back. Everything went just fine, and it all came out in one piece. Now I got some stitches and some darvocet to make the pain go away. The Dr. told me not to worry about it being cancerous, but it still went off to be tested. I have another appointment next week to get the stitches out and find out the test results.

Pearl had a Dr. appointment today too, her 6 week check up. Yeah! Pearl is 6 weeks old today. She's 10 lbs and 12 oz and has gotten up to 22.5 inches long. She has a little bit of cradle cap (baby dandruff), so we got some olive oil and head and shoulders so it should clear up in a couple of days. Developmentally she's been advanced, she's already holing her head up and focusing on moving objects. Also, she is quite literally pushing the boundaries of cute, it's almost to the point of disqustingly cute.

Anyway, enjoy pics of pearl at 6 weeks old

6 weeks old!

So six weeks ago today, I was on pins and needles, sending energy to your mom and dad, and wishing I could be there. Today, I am still wishing I could be with you and your parents more than I can. But I do know some things about you; you are observant of what's happening around you, you love to use your hands, you want to move, you are secure, and you are so loved. You have the eyes of a wise soul. I suspect you will continue to amaze everyone as you grow. I also suspect you have some very special gifts. I wait anxiously every day for the latest picture of you or report of your progress. You have enriched my life already; I can't wait to see where you go from here. I love you, Pearl

PPOTD: One of these things is not like the others!

You can spot the baby in this photo if you look really closely! Pearl loves the doggies!

PPOTD: Times 2!

Mimsy and I had picture taking day with Pearl today. I had to get some photos of her in her frog outfit...she's almost too big for it already. I've called her my frog baby since she was born because she likes drawing her legs up under her so much and it makes her look like a frog.

Mimsy shot the one of her in her rainforest swing. She loves that thing so much, it puts her right to sleep if she's fussy. Enjoy the photos!

5 Weeks Old Video

Took me a few days to get this done, the 13 hour day yesterday didn't help. So here is a video of Pearl at 5 weeks old for your viewing pleasure.
