Faith

Faith had a well-baby appointment this morning, and she is indeed still a well baby. She now weighs 21 pounds, 7 ounces, putting her over the 10th percentile, so she is a real chunk, as least as far as our babies go! Everything else seems all on track as well. Faith was full of righteous indignation at the 3 shots she received, and she started crying again every time she looked down and saw the bandaids, LOL. On the way to Bethesda, Nathan and I had been discussing the military medical school there, USUHS, so it was very timely that we had a resident do the exam, as well as the regular doctor. We asked some questions about the committment (7 years not counting any service academy committment). It seems like a great deal! Both doctors were very nice.

Faith also has quite curly hair, not that you can really see it in the picture. It's all around the bottom of her head, the only place where her hair is "long". She is also the first of my children where I really can't say whether she is right or left handed by this age. She is at the least, very ambidextrous. Jonathan and I are lobbying for the left hand and are secretly tying her right hand behind her back . . . just kidding! It does seem funny to me that I, a strongly left-handed and curly-haired person, would only have, out of 7 kids, one child who is left-handed, and who might have sort of curly hair if I ever let it get anything approaching long (never!). So maybe Faith will come over to the "sinister" side with us . . . or maybe not.
