Chubsicle

Well Anja has acquired a number of nicknames from us over the past two months. She has been called "pumpkin", "princess", "miss flathead 2007", "petunia" and now, the latest, "chubsicle". The last name was courtesy of Mark. We thought about including a photo that would best show off the traits that lead to the name, but then we thought she might not appreciate that too much. Although if she ever looks at this blog, I am sure she won't appreciate the earlier picture of her in the bathtub either! She has her two month doctor's visit next week, hopefully we won't find that she is off the charts. At birth, she was in the 20th percentile for weight. At an appointment two weeks ago she was at the 50th. Hopefully she didn't sail right past that mark.

Just one observation on how our lives have changed. I went for a run this morning by myself- no baby, no dog, no ipod. In the middle of the run I found myself humming "twinkle twinkle little star". Very motivational. The songs coming from her bouncer must be entering into my subconscious.
