Squashy Newborn

We've been settling in here at home over the past couple of weeks. On Friday, Feb 19, Lola had her 1-week check up. She weighed in at 7 lbs 15 oz, three ounces over her birth weight and way up from her minimum of 7 lbs 4 oz at the hospital. She is a good eater, sleeper and pooper - what else can you ask from a newborn! Her umbilical cord fell off after about a week and a half, but her little belly button (or booby bellon, as Nina calls it) is still healing.

Now in her third week of life, Lola is starting to have a few longer awake periods. Maybe a couple of 45 min periods during the day, then she is ready to hit the sack again. If you hold her upright, she'll try to hold up her head for a few seconds before it flops over again. Her skin is so soft, and she is so irresistibly snuggly!




Nina, not surprisingly, is very keen to get in on the baby action.
