Shad Mecham Family

Capri went to the doctor for her well check on Tuesday and weighed in at 9 pounds 4 ounces. She was also 22 1/2 inches long. Capri has gotten better with the nursing. She is actually doing it, but we still have a little more work. We stay encouraged because she keeps making improvements. Capri also loves to be held. She will express her displeasure if she is left alone for too long, but Mom doesn't mind ( most of the time).
Brenden and Ainsley are finding new and improved ways to drive Mom nuts. I attribute it to being stuck indoors for the past couple of weeks along with the adjustment to a new baby and less attention from Mom. It has been good for them. Where I am spending so much time getting Capri to nurse, Brenden and Ainsley have learned to do more things for themselves, and they also help each other. Brenden will reach things for Ainsley that Mom used to get for her. Ainsley has been a great helper too. She is getting to be quite the expert at packing the diaper bag. She will get diapers, wipes and burp cloths for me and put them in the diaper bag. She has also been very helpful at cleaning up the floor, on occasion. Ainsley loves to lay out blankets on the floor so Mom can lay Capri down, as well as fetching diapers and wipes and disposing of the dirty ones.
