Summer Bubba...

So, had second baby appointment and got to get all the measurements on Summer... She's basically 21 inches long now, has grown about 3 inches. She is up to 9 lbs and 1/2 ounce. Told doc how Summer likes to eat. Says most babies take about two weeks to get back to their birth weight (7 lbs 11 oz). Summer was back to that within the first week, and has gained over a pound since then... Doc mentions that Summer should only be eating 2-3 ounces per feeding and maybe 4 ounes once in a while, if slept a lot and is really hungry....so those times she just kept eating and drank 5-6 ounces and her belly is distended...hmmm... Maybe a reason she cried? A belly ache? Well, we know now and will try to keep her more on the lower amount. Other than that, we got a clean bill of health and made another appt for Aug 21 for her shots...that'll be fun, but a baby needs her immunizations.

I think I'll stop mentioning good nights and bad nights, since they come and go. Monday "night", Summer was up til 5AM. She just wanted to get to know Grandma Bob...


As always, Summer is much quieter if you let her sleep on top of you... :-)

And last night Summer was pretty good again.

Summer is the most adorable baby...when she's sleeping...


Anyway, busy weekend and last couple of days. Bought a used Volvo XC 70 Station wagon and got rid of the Passat. This gives us a bit more room. Being used kept it more affordable, but it's fully loaded and quite comfy. Have three years and 60k miles for the warranty, so that's basically just as good as a new car.

Well, back at work today, so should get to it...just had to post another update and a few more pics. She's growing so fast!
