First Illness and First Touches

Madeline killed her first major virus - a nasty case of rotavirus. It hung around from mid-September to the end of the month but she didn't even miss a night of sleep! What a girl. At her four-month well-baby check Dr. B. called her an "amazon", and also a "genius" for her recently acquired two-hand reach (but hey, we knew that already). Best of all, Miss Madeline has been reaching out and holding onto Mommy and Daddy when we pick her up. It's been going on for a little while now but she seems to have perfected the hug. (Ahhh.) She's also using her reach to touch Mommy's lips and hair while nursing. (Double ahh!)
