New developments & Another Fun weekend!

Here's a fun collage - Audrey's really grown into her first outfit! (Hint - the left and bottom photos are the more recent ones :)


Audrey's umbilical cord fell off last week, finally! I thought it was never going to fall off. Now we're trying to figure out if she'll have an innie or an outie. I was not aware of this before, but apparently 90% of people have innies!

It looks like she is maybe starting to smile - or it may be gas - but she is starting to smile more either way, which is nice!

She is having more alert periods, and is sometimes awake for two hours at a time, but she still sleeps almost all of the time.

She is doing really well with breastfeeding, and I think it will just get easier from now on as she gets bigger and stronger.

An average 7 week old baby would probably be smiling and cooing, which Audrey isn't doing yet, but she isn't even supposed to be born yet! She was still one week early yesterday. So she won't be considered behind any developmental goals for another 7 weeks. She hasn't been weighed in almost two weeks, but she's somewhere around 6.5 pounds now since she seems to be growing and getting chubbier and doing well.

This weekend we saw a baby that was 2 days younger than Audrey. It was bizarre, the baby was SO different from Audrey. Not only was it almost exactly twice as big as her, there was also a big difference in its alertness. It was pretty fun to see.

We're excited for Audrey to develop and grow, but I'm definitely treasuring my time with her and not worrying about it! She is so tiny and amazing.

I actually don't have many pictures from this weekend, but Audrey visited with Aunt Mo & Uncle Kyle on Friday night, went to Lexington to see our friends Kris & Candace, went to her first Derby party, and had another fun bath. Her hair still gets so nice and fluffy! Overall it was a great weekend.

Hope you all had a fun weekend too! Here are some photos from our week.





Michael dressed Audrey up for the trip to Lexington. This is the outfit I bought to be her "going home" outfit, but she still barely fits into it!
Look at those little feet!


Audrey wearing her first dress earlier this week! The days have been alternating between hot and sunny, and thunderstorms and cooler. This was obviously on one of the hot days.
And some fun time after a bath.









And here's a new video:
