Sorry for the delay in posts. We have been busy traveling, and with visitors. Skyler is doing great. Her last visit to the doctor was a good one. It was her 5 week appointment. She weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces, and was 20 1/2 inches long. They did an ultrasound on her hips to make sure they were OK (they check all babies for this that are breach), so that was great news. Also, they aren't even considering her in the premie category due to her excellent health and growth. Of course that means she's only in the 5th percentile for length and weight due to this, but it's great news to us that they feel she's doing that well. Her next appointment is Sept. 10th, and she will be getting all of her vaccines. Not looking forward to that.
She is now 7 weeks old, and is already up to 9 pounds 6 ounces. She is finally out of premie clothes, and is wearing some 0-3months. She is holding her head up on her own, just not for a long period of time yet. I swear she will be walking in no time. She can crawl right up your body :) She is very impatient, and stubborn. I guess she gets that from my side :) Once it's feeding time, you had better have the bottle ready. She still hasn't smiled directly at me yet. I will let everyone know when that happens. She loves to lay on her back with her legs and arms spread out. It's so cute. She is a very content and happy baby. Her daddy and I are trying to get her to sleep through the night,but the most we have gotten out of her is 4 hours sleep. Not too bad, but a work in progress. We will keep you posted on how she does with her vaccinations. Also, her next pictures will be her 2 month photos. Daddy will be in some of these this time. We are hoping to get all 3 of us in one this time. We still don't have one like that. Hope you all enjoy!
