LENNA'S DUE DATE

Today, July 9, 2010, was Lenna's due date. She will be 7 weeks old tomorrow, time flies.

A little bit about what is going on in her world:

*She weighs somewhere between 5 1/2 and 6 lbs (she has officially grown out of preemie diapers)
*Her hair is turning red... I hope it stays that way, we weren't expecting it
*Her eyes are changing from grey to blue
*She lifts her head and barely needs assistance in supporting her neck when she's held
*When she's laying on her stomach she can lift her head and upper body
*When she's laying on her back she likes to roll onto her side
*She's strong; you have to be careful when you hold her, she'll lunge right out of your arms
*She has a lot more waking hours than she used to; she is especially alert after she eats
*She focuses on voices and faces
*She knows night from day, something Rauland and I appreciate
*The past few days she has been making a lot more social noises - simple ooo's and aaa's


She'll develop about 7 weeks behind other babies her age until she's 2, so considering she was supposed to be BORN today, I think she's doing very well!

(please excuse her plumber's crack - but hey, she's got more toosh than she used to)
