Doctor Hurley

Today we went to Dr. Hurley's office to check on some little things that we noticed at our first doctor visit two weeks ago. Leila has grown a whole kilogram since then--now she weighs 12 pounds! All of the other things that the doctor told us "not to worry about" at our last visit have been resolved, from bellybutton weirdness to thrush to a tiny little heart murmur, so now Leila gets a clean bill of health! Dr. Hurley said we should probably keep her:)

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend has been really exciting! On Friday night Leila went to the drive-in movies with us and slept through Pirates of the Carribean III. I guess it's funny that her first movie is the third part of a trilogy, but I think she caught up on the plot pretty fast:)

On Saturday, Leila went to visit all of her favorite animals at the zoo. This is a picture from the brand new Butterfly exhibit that just opened this weekend. Of course, Leila also wanted to see the Elephants and Zebras. She got a little tired before we got to the panda bears this time. That's ok though, because the mommy panda bear is off-exhibit now anyway, getting ready for her own baby to come!

Leila also had her first visit to a restaurant this Saturday. Who knew Schlotzsky's could be so much fun?

After all of those adventures, today Leila and Mommy both needed a good rest. We're glad Daddy gets to hang out with us today and tomorrow instead of going to work because Leila has been practicing making some very creative diapers.

Leila at three weeks

Thanks Chandler for taking these fun pictures! Along with the zoo we hope to take Leila to the drive-in movie theater this weekend. It ought to be nice to be able to keep her in the car with us and be able to take care of her if she needs anything.

Library

Yesterday Leila made her first big trip to the library! She wanted to get some books for Mommy to read while she eats, and didn't need to check out any books for herself. She decided that the library is a great place for a nap since it's pretty quiet and the air conditioning is nice and cool:)

So far Leila's favorite things to read are stories about animals like elephants, tigers and bears! Since she likes animals so much, maybe she will be excited about a trip to the zoo this holiday weekend. We'll have to wait to see what the temperature (and her temperament) will be like!

Leila needed a blog!

Now that Leila is with us, Chandler and I have decided that we are going to try and post the occasional update on our lives in Memphis.

Today I am at the office for a few hours doing a quarterly update and Chandler and Leila are relaxing at home. We have had a quiet weekend, mostly watching a Heroes marathon on Sci-Fi. We'd never watched it before, but we are entertained so far.
