lots of new happenings

well, last week was hadleigh's first official week of daycare. she's only going a few days a week, but it's still super hard. i took her last thursday for a trial run (for me, not for her). then she had to go friday for my first day of clinical... she apparently does great! everyone loves her because she's the "best baby"! :) however, this weekend she got all congested and started coughing all the time, so being the paranoid parents that we are... i took her to the doctor today. i turned into a nurse mom and listened to her lungs before i took her, and i knew she was probably fine. but i went for peace of mind. bottom line is that i should expect her to get sick a lot. on the upside, she'll be immune to everything and be able to rock every day of kindergarten without illness. :)

and she's getting so big! she was just over 12 pounds today at the doctor... holy crap. that kid can put away some food. she doesn't look big -- she's just solid. we're rolling all over the place and grabbing everything -- toys, mommy's shirts, sonny's ears, everything we can get our hands on. she's also become a finger sucker. she doesn't suck her thumb ever, but lately when i go check on her during the night, she's got all 4 fingers in her mouth! cute girl.

my first clinical day went well. the doctor is different, but he's very nice. he's eager to teach and i'll definitely learn a lot this semester.
