Our Baby Girl – 2 to 6 Weeks

She’ll be 6 weeks old tomorrow.

Baby “DeeDee” is growing up very quickly! It’s been fun watching her develop her personality — especially now that she is full of smiles. (I was the recipient of her first REAL full-face smile on February 19th. While I was dressing her for the chiropractor she looked up at me, so I said, “Hi Beautiful.” She responded with that big precious heart-warming grin, and has been smiling at us ever since.)

Health-wise, DeeDee is doing great! She has been a bit colicky lately, but my giving up dairy (except for raw goat’s milk) has helped quite a bit, as well as having the chiropractor give her a colic release adjustment.

And she is so BIG!!! At just under 6 weeks old, DeeDee weighs in at 10 lbs, 12 ozs and is just shy of 23″ long! None of our other babies reached the ten pound mark until they were at least 4 or 5 months of age, not weeks. It’s been kind of saddening for me, packing away DeeDee’s outgrown newborn clothes already. She is now wearing 3-6 month clothes (and even some of those are too small). She’s even outgrown all of her precious *brand new* newborn cloth diapers. *sniff sniff*

Boo seems to be DeeDee’s “favorite” – When she is really upset, NO ONE can calm her like Boo can!
