Audrey is now four months old! She had her check-up with her pediatrician and neonatologist yesterday, and she is doing great. She weighed 11 pounds 6 ounces!! Well over triple her birth weight, and on her way to quadrupling. She was also doing really well developmentally and was ahead of many of the targets based on her corrected age.
In this photo Audrey isn't her happiest, but you can really see her eyes are still quite blue. I keep waiting for them to turn brown, but I'm hoping they won't :)
All of a sudden this week, Audrey started "talking". She makes all sorts of noises, it's really cute. She's also working on pushing up when she lays on her stomach & can get her head looking straight ahead & her chest off of the ground. She even makes little crawling motions. Audrey is also almost rolling over. She is growing and changing so much, it's pretty amazing.
Here is a video of some of Audrey's new talking skills:
Michael has been out of town a lot lately for work, but Audrey has been getting easier in the evenings, so it really hasn't been too hard. We're always happy when he gets home though. Audrey always has lots of smiles for her daddy.
We've had a nice weekend so far. On Friday evening, Audrey and I went to a "Spay-ghetti & No-Balls" fundraiser dinner for the local animal shelter.
Then we went to an outdoor concert in Bowling Green on Friday night with our friends Julie and P.J. and their son Wilder.
Wilder is about 3.5 months older than Audrey. He started crawling recently and was trying to find a snack in the bag. But then he just decided to eat the bag :)
And yesterday we borrowed Wilder's bumbo seat - it was a big hit! It's a neat little seat that helps babies sit up.
Bye for now!

Audrey is really vocalizing well! She has such a lovely smile too. We just spoke to Peter on Skype -he loves his life in Seattle and the research that he is doing. I hope you guys are still coming up in February. caroline
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling, and I agree, a lovely smile. I don't know as much as mom does about vocalizing, but I really enjoyed that video, it's great to hear your voice Sandy! And, the response! Mom tells me that the milestones are coming along really well which is really wonderful! A lovely blog, I'll stay tuned for more! OH, and a February visit sounds spectacular. Peter
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how well she is sitting up. Those are some great photos of her in the bumbo seat. I'm really looking forward to seeing both of you next and seeing Audrey's progress first hand.
