Two week update

We went to the pediatrician yesterday and had Emma's two week checkup.  She is over her birth weight which was good news and our doctor was very pleased with her progress.  In the overall percentage categories she is still small I guess, but she's doing great.  We did learn last week that she is somewhat tongue-tied and we need to decide if we want to take her to an ENT and get it checked out.  She can't really stick her tongue out that far and it was somewhat affecting her ability to nurse, but so far we haven't had too many troubles.  My only concern would be for her to be able to speak properly. 

I can't believe it's already been two weeks.  I feel like she is changing a little more every day.  I still can't tell who I think she looks like.  Some people have said that she looks like Adam, but I don't really think she looks like either of us.  A few things we have decided on so far.....she has Adam's toes ( they are kind of long and we call them monkey toes), we think she also might have his ears ( but not totally sure on that one).  I'm not sure about her nose, but the hair color is definitely mine, but not as spiky as mine was as a child.  She is SUPER squirmy and could almost jump out of your arms if you aren't careful.  And she loves to curl up like a roly poly or something.  I think that must have been how she was inside me.

I found these cute stick-ons online for each month up to 1 year so I'm going to be taking a picture each month so that I can track how she changes.  Here are her stats from the doctor visit:

Height: 19 3/4 inches  35%
Weight: 7lbs. 5.5oz  25%
Head: 50%
