Skinny little girl

Alice went in for a doctor appointment earlier this week and the doctor said she wasn’t putting on enough weight. Mom thought that was a bit odd, as Alice has developed some serious thunder thighs over the last couple of months in contrast to the chicken legs she started with. Not to mention that her cheeks are about as far from gaunt as you can get. Mom thinks Alice is just being irregular, as she’s put on 5½ pounds in three months and she’s supposed to have put on 6. So we’re not overly concerned. Mom has been giving Alice some extra formula, just in case. I think that Alice should just stop spewing quite so much.

Alice is doing well with holding up her head as well. She doesn’t have much problem holding it up while sitting up, but she never really had the “floppy head” that Corwin and Charles did. Mom says it’s because her head isn’t as huge as the boys’ heads were. I say it’s unfair to label the boys freaks just to make Alice seem more normal.
