Zelly had her weekly checkup yesterday and is doing great. Her
diaper rash is almost totally cleared up and she's eating really well.
She didn't gain weight as fast as I'd predicted, she's at 4 lbs 3 oz,
exactly 2 lbs more than at birth.
She's getting better at spending time alone, entertaining herself.
Her chief form of entertainment is waiving her hands around and seeing
what they run into first. If it's her mouth, she sucks on them.
Anything else, she grabs it and pulls. That could be her ear, nose,
eyes... if she gets a hold of her blanket, she pulls that into her
mouth. She coos and talks and squeeks and grunts to herself in an
almost endless monologue. In short, she takes after Wendy.... oh, am
I going to get it!
We're settling into a sort of groove with her at home. 'Sort of'
because as you other parents know, the groove tends to change every
few days if not daily. I think we're both feeling a lot more
confident in our parenting abilities.
