Look who turned 2 months old on Monday! It's amazing how quickly time has passed. It will be really interesting to see how her numbers check out when we go for her two-month checkup next week. We know she's added the LBs; we tried getting an approximation on length while she was still this morning and think she's between 22 and 23 inches long.
Aubri has been a very pleasant baby from the time she was born and now, at 7 weeks, she's really beginning to develop a personality. More and more, we're able to pull out some smiles, giggles and laughs. Just recently, she began making new noises that sound as if she's trying to get into the conversation - and of course, we caught some of those on camera.
I still don't think Aubri is to the point that she realizes she's smiling at us, but it sure is cute when she does. It's all gummy!
On several occasions, Casi has walked in on Aubri smiling while in her crib. So, today, knowing that's where Aubri was, Casi suggested I step in and see - not knowing I had the Flip with me.
Fortunately, Aubri cooperated and gave an outstanding performance.
Has it already been a month? Hard to believe, but yes. Our little Aubri turned one month old on Oct. 29 and we took her for her one-month appointment at the pediatrician's office on Nov. 1.
Aubri received a very good report and her stats were:
- Weight: 8 lbs, 1 oz (75th percentile)
- Length: 20.5 inches (75th percentile)
- Head: 37 cm (98th percentile)
To give you a little bit of weight history, she was 6-13 at birth (9/29), 6-6 when we left the hospital (10/1), 6-10 when we went to her four-day old appointment (10/4), 6-15.5 at 1.5 weeks (10/11), 7-6 at three weeks (10/21) and then 8-1 at a month (11/1).
Casi and I have adjusted pretty well, I'd say. It certainly doesn't happen overnight but we're getting there!
As she celebrated one month, we took time for a very informal photo session here at home. I have to say, Aubri did very well and gave us about 4-5 minutes of good photo ops. Eventually, however, she was ready to call it a day!
