Annie & the Chief - 16 weeks16 weeks have flown by!
Annie sure doesn't seem like a stranger in the house any more - it's impossible to imagine life before her! I cannot believe how much she has grown this month. We were in "newborn" size clothes and diapers for what seemed forever, and now, every week I'm packing away things she's outgrown already, and she's about to overflow her size 1 diapers in favor of a larger size any day now. Her arms are chubby, complete with elbow dimples...her thighs have rolls...she's definitely beginning to fill out! It's amazing to think she used to drink 1-2 ounces of formula a meal, and now she's chugging down 5-7 ounces a meal, and packing in a good 30+ ounces per day. That probably explains the nice weight gain recently. We've also had to move tubby time from the kitchen counter to the big bath tub, she's just too wild and crazy in there these days, we were soaking the kitchen floor (and ourselves)!
A recap of the month:
-Annie sleeps through the night -YAHOO!
-Annie gets yet ANOTHER Doctor, this time an eye specialist. Annabelle has a "capillary hemangioma" under her right eye (hence the photos where she looks like she has a black eye) - it's essentially a benign tumor. Supposedly these "capillary hemangiomas" are somewhat common, and no big deal....if they're anywhere else on the body. But due to it's location (in her lower eye lid), we have to watch and make sure it doesn't get bigger (which unfortunately is pretty much what these do...get bigger). If it begins to affect her vision, she may need surgery. But for the moment I just stare at it, and will it to go away on it's own.
-Annie's umblical hernia has all but disappeared :) Yay! (out with the umbilical hernia, in with the capillary hemangioma...always something!)
-Annie has her first dip in a pool.
-Annie stays in her first hotel.
-Annie takes her first hike.
-Mom makes her first successful batch of Annie-cakes (galactose free pancakes) :)
We're currently working on sitting up (eh, well, seriously aided slouching I guess) and still the dreaded tummy time (A's not a big fan of using her arms) -- and looking forward to starting solids sometime in the next month or two.
