Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! We finished off 2008 with Maya's four-month check-up. She is now 13 lbs, 8 ozs, and 25 inches long. She has gained an amazing 6 lbs since her two-month visit. She was a behind on her weight gain at that point, but is now on track and her doctor is very pleased. She is also a very long little girl. Her doctor said they expect babies to grow 1/2 inch a month and Maya's been growing an inch a month. We know that she definitely does not get her height from her mother! At her next appointment, we expect to be given the OK to start her on cereals.

We had a pretty low-key New Year's Eve. Maya got shots earlier in the day and wasn't the happiest baby. Rachel's friend Marcy flew in to visit us from Boston for the weekend, so we had dinner with our neighbors earlier in the evening and then Rachel headed to the airport.

We hope everyone has a healthy, prosperous New Year! If you made resolutions, we wish you luck in sticking with them. Daisy's New Year's Resolution is to lose 10 lbs...and our resolution is to help her do it so we don't get yelled at next time we take her to the vet!
