She found her thumb. It was a good temporary solution while waiting to nurse.
She looked a lot like big brother when he figured out how to suck his thumb!
Olivia shelved her in the Star Wars section at the library. Why? Why not?
The day also included a visit to the hospital where she had her hearing rechecked. Her left ear initially failed her hearing screen when she was first born. She passed her retest with flying colors.
After the hospital, we went to her pediatrician's office to have her belly button checked. It was gooey and weird, but looked to be healing ok. While there, we learned that at 16 days old, she was a mere 2 ounces away from gaining an entire pound since birth. The little lady can eat! The nurse practitioner who saw her also declared that she was the strongest 2 week old she'd met. Samantha can hold her head up most of the time, can roll from her back to her side, and has freakishly strong arms that she refuses to have swaddled (which is what the nurse practitioner was attempting to do).
Here she is showing off her skills on her playmat.
