2 weeks old and growing every day.

Today we took Chloe to the doctor for her 2 week check-up. We are going to Palo Verde Pediatrics on Val Vista and Elliot and today saw Dr. Kipp as Professor Dumbledor was on vacation. Dr Kipp seemed very nice and was very thorough with Chloe and answered all our questions. She has surpassed her birth weight by 8 ounces and now weights 6 lbs 12 oz and has grown 3/4 of an inch, which puts her at 19 3/4 inches. Her brains are also growing which probably accounts for the increased crying and fussiness we have been seeing in her. Her head circumference increased by .8 inches and puts her in the 26th percentile compared to the 7% she was in just a week ago.

Last night was a hard one as she was up from about 3am-5am--we did manage to go to bed around 9:30pm so I did get some sleep, but for the first time this morning I experienced the mommy zombie daze. We are going to try and keep her up in the early evening in hopes that she will sleep a little more in the night time. I'm starting to read a couple of books (in between my reading of Twilight): Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and Babywise--both which were recommeded to me by friends.

Enjoy these pics of Chloe from her first 2 weeks.




One of our favorite faces that she makes--we thought is was the "poop" face, but sometimes she does it and there is no poop. So we just call it her "O" face!


One dad and one red baby butt--she turns into a tomato when she cries.

Sleeping in her vibrating giraffe chair.


The "O" face again.


Baby Yoga Time!! Here is Chloe demonstrating the Frog Pose. It promotes relaxation and stimulates the bowels.
