Anyway, BGZ's one month check up went well. She is up to 9 lbs, 12 oz (up from 7 lbs, 15 oz at birth and a lowest weight of 7 lbs, 1 oz). I forget her exact length and head circumference (ha! can you tell she's the second kid?) but I know that since the day she was born all of her sizes are exactly average. She's a 50th percentile baby. We enjoy her chubby cheeks and legs, but she's certainly not the hefty baby her 95th percentile brother was. I'm sure this has something to do with the fact that she was born 16 days earlier than he was. He had longer to "cook" as they say and he just grew and grew. She came eight days early and started on Mommy's good side, so I say. Anyway, to me, she is just right. She eats a LOT and the doctor says she looks great and we're doing everything just right. Hmm..I think I like this doctor.
BGZ is a very sweet baby. I'm sure our relaxed state has something to do with our perception of her, but she honestly seems to be pretty easy going. As long as her needs are met, she's content. She has a bit of a fussy time in the evening, but even then, it's just not that bad. I mean, you know a baby is calm and enjoyable when you hear her daddy cooing at her at 2 a.m. and saying to her - even though she just woke him up in the middle of the night - "you're such a good baby.Yes, you are. A good baby."
Being a family of four fits us. It just seems like we were meant to be this way. She fit right in and we loved her immediately. BBZ treats her like she was born to be his best friend. I hope and pray that she always will be. The other day, she was crying in the car and I heard him say to her, "Don't cry baby sister. I'm here with you. Don't cry. I'll always be here with you." Doesn't get much better than that.
All is well in Zogland. The photo album called January - April 2012 has been updated. Enjoy!
