Mary went to the doctor

She had an appointment today for a check-up and more shots. She didn't like the shots a whole lot. But she is now 26 pounds and 32 inches tall!

Beth said...: Yeah, Ava likes me to carry her around and she's well over 30 lbs. Then when I pick up Madeleine it's not too bad. Although my mom says her arm is about to fall off if she carries her for too long! (The kid LOVES her grandma.); Saturday, March 29, 2008
