Very Average!


Kiera had her one month dr visit on Wednesday and she is as average as they get (in terms of measurements, she is above average in looks and brains of course!)!  The dr plotted her birth and one month measurements on the growth chart (http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41c018.pdf)  and all of her measurements were exactly on the average/50th percentile line!  The dr said she hadn't seen that in a long time.  She was 8 lb 14 oz and 21 inches so she is packing on the pounds and growing like a weed!  : )

Kiera also started smiling this week!  I wasn't sure before whether she was really smiling at me or just making gas faces but on Tuesday I decided she is officially smiling and she has done it daily since!  I tried to get a picture of it and none of them really do it justice, but I included two of my attempts above. 

Joel and I did decide to go to the Tim McGraw/Lady Antebellum concert last Friday so Kiera had her first babysitters (thanks grandma and grandpa Kelly!).  She did great, the concert was a lot of fun, and it was nice to get out of the house for an evening (although I had to pump in the parking lot before the concert!).  We look forward to more outings to come!

She also started wearing pants and shirts this week. Maybe not a real milestone, but cute nonetheless. Before when we tried to put them on her she was just swimming in them so she has primarily worn footed sleepers or one piece outfits so far. She has also outgrown a lot of her newborn clothes. We are excited to finally get some use out of the adorable outfits we have for her!
