Mary officially hit the one month mark last Thursday. It's funny how fast the time goes, even when there isn't a whole lot of sleeping going on. At Mary's one month appointment on Monday, she tipped the scales at over 12 pounds and measured over 24 inches. Like her older sister, Mary is firmly entrenched in the 97th percentile for her measurements. If this keeps up, it looks like Libby and Mary are going to grow into a pretty formidable front line for the Rocky River Lady Pirates volleyball team (that is, assuming they don't inherit their dad's hops!).
Mary has been much better about sleeping at night, but she still has her evenings during which she'd rather sit up all night and blabber nonsense, drool, cry and spit-up. Mom and Dad really can't be mad, because Dad used to do the same things at night. Of course, that was in college. But Mary is eating well, and she is definitely more animated with each passing day. It won't be long before she's chasing her sister around the house raising hell for Mom and Dad.
Libby has managed to have some fun of her own, while Mary gets most of the attention. Last week, Libby got to march with the Rocky River High School Marching Band. She played her fish maracas, in perfect sync with the music (of course, it was the music in her head, not the music coming from the band). She also got to try her hand at cheerleading.
Thankfully, that did't work out so well; Libby seems to be much more interested in playing sports rather than watching/cheering for them. Dad can handle soccer games or volleyball games or softball games or tennis matches or lacrosse games. Dad cannot handle cheerleading competitions, cheerleading moms or cheerleaders in general (present company is excluded!). In other exciting news, Libby starts story time at the library on Wednesday night. This could go very well, as Libby loves books and reading. It could also go very badly, as Libby also loves being in charge and being the center of attention. Here's hoping Bookworm Libby shows up and not Destructo Libby! That would be bad.
