Bootcamp Baby

Zara had her 6 week checkups at both the pedi and the midwife this week. That was her last visit to the midwife, although the visit was more about me anyway. Both of us passed and are healthy but her right ear isn't cooperating with the hand-held hearing tester. They get several good readings but don't get enough all together for the machine to say it's good. So we are going to have to go to an Ear Nose and Throat Dr for the more advanced test. We aren't worried, she can hear, its just getting the proof that is required.

But her updated stats are 8lb 6oz and 21.5in long. So we've grown a bunch. The height works out to the 50th percentile (up from 5th at birth) and 12th for weight. She is our banana baby.

Only problem we currently have is a sudden flare up of diaper rash. Since I switched her into g diapers from pure and natural disposables in the last couple days, we are going back to disposables for now. We will slather on the butt paste until it clears up and then try the g's again. May be coincidence maybe not, but we need to get back to the baseline to find out.

And lastly, pictures. Zara has GREAT head control already and she is doing her bootcamp push-ups daily. Just don't tell our instructor Shannon or she'll be trying to do burpees next week. ;)

I'm glad to hear she's doing well, although I already knew that from seeing her! Now tell her to drop and give me 20. ;-)

Look at her! She's grown so much since I saw her two weeks ago.

I thought Zara was small, but Eleanor makes her look huge.
