dr. visit.

on her way out the door.

“is this the parent of madeline logelin?”

ugh.

i hate when that

call comes in.

immediately i get worried…

my first thought

is always,

is she okay?

did she puke

on some kid

at daycare

or bump her head

on the sidewalk?

i try not to

panic, reassuring myself

that she is fine.

then the ridiculous

comes to mind.

today.

it’s just a few days past madeline’s 15-month birthday, so it’s time for her head back to the doctor for a check-up.

so…while i continue working on answering your questions about my book, i have two for you.

when she visits the doctor today…

1. how much will madeline weigh?
2. how tall will madeline be?

a couple of hints:

at her one year check-up, she weighed 20 pounds, 9 ounces and was 28 7/8 inches tall

the chart below shows her progression since birth:

maddy-growth-4-7-20091

and here’s a photos taken this morning that may help:

before work/daycare.

and another that won’t (but i love it):

a little playtime before heading out.

as always, the person/s who correctly guesses both her height and weight will get a copy of my current favorite record and my current favorite book.

you have until thursday, july 2nd at 1:00am (pacific time) to get your guesses in.

in other news

they should have interviewed me. i could have told them that i do most of my crying in the shower or the garage, well away from my happy baby.

finally, if you are in the los angeles area on july 12th you should join us for a little fun in the park…

the oscar mayer wienermobile is coming to visit maddy and me.

where: griffith park
address: 4800 crystal springs dr, [at center of park], near the carousel.
when: sunday, july 12 11:00am to 1:00pm

there will be raffle for a ride & other great prizes, all to benefit the liz logelin foundation.

awesome.

here.

i’ve been here,

in this place.

but when?

was it twenty five years ago?

maybe eight?

yesterday?

no.

it was

thirteen years ago.

and it was

almost four years ago.

i was here.

she was here

we.

we were here.

but it was different.

thirteen years ago

it was an

awkward meal with

people who didn’t

know me.

but she made

it comfortable,

even fun.

some of them

were here.

i was here.

she was here.

we.

we were here.

and that day four

years ago,

we stood up

there.

it was that day,

that day i

put the one

now on my

left hand

on hers.

and the one

now on my right

was on my left.

it was to

be like that forever.

that was the plan.

i can smell

the flowers.

i can feel the excitement

of that moment.

i can see the dress.

and the woman

inside of it.

but four years

later, i am here

some of them

are here,

but she,

she

is not here.
