Our little girl arrived on December 23rd, around 8:30am. She was 7 lb 7 oz and 18.25" long. She was born with a fair amount of dark hair and with blue eyes, though they've darkened up quite a bit already. But, we can't tell yet what color they are. It took us a day or so to decide on her name, but eventually settled on Caroline Jeanine Brown. We like it. And we like her too. She's pretty cool. :-)
Caroline had her one month appointment yesterday and she's now up to 8 lb 11 oz and 21.5" long. She's in the 70th percentile for length and 50th for weight. She's healthy and doing well so that's what we like to hear. She also got her first shot, and while she screamed her head off right afterward, I was able to calm her in just a few minutes and she was just fine after that. What a trooper!
She's changed a lot in the last month...besides getting bigger, she is now starting to smile at us and interact. She makes some cooing sounds too which is pretty cute. She likes spending time on the floor gym staring at the toys and flailing her arms in their general direction. Overall she's a really good baby and we can't complain. (A little bit more sleep would be nice though...haha)
Here are some pictures of her when she was born...
And for comparison, here are a few that were taken recently, around 4-5 weeks.
That's all I have time for right now, but I promise to try to be better about posting!
