Figuring that she was going to be a little ahead of schedule on everything in life, we decided to go in for Marin's 2-week check-up a couple days early. Truthfully, she has a little "Boo-boo" on her tongue and we wanted to get it checked up, so we tied one appointment to the other and hopefully saved ourselves an extra trip to the dreaded pediatrics wing of the Naval Medical Center.All reports are good. The "boo-boo" was nothing but dried milk stuck in the crevices of her tongue. And Marin has regained her birth weight plus an addtional 7 oz. and now weighs a whopping 7 lbs. 8oz. (She's really puttin' on the "oz's"). Additionally, she is 1/2 in. longer and if she keeps up this current pace she will grow to be over 21 feet tall by the time she is twenty. We are obviously really excited about that.
I included this picture of Marin, Tracey and her brother, "Uncle Kevin" because it is my favorite one, to date, of Marin really wailing away and you can see the concern in Tracey's eyes. Despite what you see here, Marin has been sleeping well and she only cries when she needs one of the following things:
- Food
- A Diaper Change
- Food
- A Scenery Change
- A blanket wrapped around her body
The good news is that Marin is progressing, we're all having fun, and we're learning a lot.

Actually she will be 23'8" on this pace if you figure that she grows half an inch every two weeks, 13" a year until she is twenty, in addition to the 20" she was at birth. Kind of crazy that way Tom, just like a true crosswind still causes drag. So I guess she is going to be a basketball player, and all this time on the blog you were saying she would be a soccer player (football player as my people say).
Oops, I was wrong, she will only be 23'4" So much for basketball!
I do beleive that little Marin is crying because people are making fun of her height and weight and her parents just think that it's funny. Please send her to Iowa right now so that Aunt Brigid can comfort her. Her cousins will tell her that it'll all be fine and those people really don't have any clue what they're talking about.
Kevin sure does have a way with the ladies. That is such a funny picture...I want to be in it too :(

Boog/Tracey/Marin ..
If she grows up to be bigger than Michael, I'll have to wonder :o) If she's 15 and 6'2" and 250 lbs. then Houston we have a problem. Get a 2nd job and have a spare refrigerator.
Speaking of mullets, I can't figure out if Marin is sporting the Tennessee Top Hat or the Kentucky Mudflap?
