Growing like a weed

Nora had a check-up this morning; she's up to almost 10 pounds already! She's looking more and more like a baby instead of a newborn lately, and has started cooing (a welcome addition to the crying and grunting noises that she's been making so far).

Addy also had a doctor's appointment today: the eye doctor. Her pediatrician wanted to get a baseline exam done since she has two parents with glasses and her Spina Bifida puts her at risk for having astigmatisms. The poor dear had to have her eyes dilated for the eye exam and is still kind of a bug-eyed hot mess four hours later. But she passed the test and doesn't need glasses or anything (not yet at least).
