Week 18

Well, week 18 was actually a pretty exciting week, considering the lack of pictures! 

Audrey has gotten a lot better at rolling over.  She can roll both directions, although she doesn’t do it often.  I feel like once Laney learned to roll over, she was everywhere.  Audrey seems like she’s a little calmer.  She can roll over if she wants to (usually), but is pretty content to stay where she is and look around.  She is always watching everything.  Even when we lay her down with her mirror, she’s more interested in everything else, rather than looking at the toys. 

Her eyes have already changed colors.  They are a dark greenish color right now.  I’m interested to see if they stay green or turn brown, like Laney’s did.

Sometimes rolling over is too hard!

Pretty much the only picture of Audrey that I took from our adventure to Louisville (read more about that on the other blog).  Sitting up in her stroller at the zoo, just like a big girl! :)

 

So there’s the grand total of good pictures from this week!  IT was a fun week, though.  Over the weekend we went on a little Looten family adventure to Louisville, KY, where we toured the seminary campus, went to the zoo, and just explored Louisville some.  More on that on the other blog…

This Monday marked my first day back at work full time, an Audrey’s first week of daycare.  It wasn’t easy to leave her, but it was easier than with Laney.  Probably because Laney was helping me take her to her room, so I had to hold it together for her! :)  But Audrey has been fine this week, and has been well taken care of, so I guess I don’t have much to complain about!

We also had Audrey’s 4 month checkup this week.  First off, the stats:

Height: 23 1/2 inches
Weight: 12lbs, 13 ounces
Head circumference: 16 1/4 inches

Percentage-wise, that’s 25%, 25%, and 60%… looks like we got another little girl with a big head! :)  And she’s gained 2 lbs, 12 ounces in two months!  She’s getting downright chunky!  But at least the thigh rolls are cute! :)

The doctor also took a look at her torticollis and said that he didn’t think it would be a problem.  He said to keep doing what we’re doing- putting toys on her left, encouraging her to look that way, and giving her lots of tummy time. 

Anyway, they said she looked really good, and she even escaped shots because they were out of one of them… unfortunately for her, we’re headed back next week to get them!

She continues to be a very mellow, calm baby.  She rarely cries unless she’s tired or hungry.  And she is a total blanket baby… she can be fussing and whining, and if you toss a blanket over her she immediately calms down and starts snuggling! 

Guess that’s about it from week 18… loving watching my littlest girl grow! :)
