A growing girl
Posted on Thursday, January 22nd, 2009 at 8:51 amCharlotte has been a very hungry baby lately, which is good since she’s finally catching up on her weight gain. We went to the doctor for another check yesterday and she gained nine ounces this week! So that was a relief. Yesterday was also baby’s first trip to the mall, which went well. We met up with other mothers from my class for lunch, then we shopped a little bit.
We have seen a few little smiles from Charlotte in the past few days. She smiled at my mom this past weekend, and this morning smiled at herself in the mirror. She’s also making more non-crying noises. In general she seems to really, really like being awake. Even when she looks exhausted, with little baby bags under her eyes, she doesn’t like to fall asleep. Lately it’s around midnight to 2 a.m. that she’s really wide awake, although then she will often sleep a longer stretch till 6 or so–last night she slept almost 4 hours straight, which was so nice.
Brian and I got to have dinner out by ourselves last weekend, thanks to my parents. It was great. And Charlotte met her great grandparents and great aunt when Nana, Papa and Auntie drove down Saturday. We have been updating Flickr with more pictures, here.
