I don't have any pictures to post at this time, but I do want to congratulate Kate on being one month old! Since we hit that milestone, Kate had to go to the doctor this morning for her one month checkup.
Everything has been going pretty well, but it was nice for Jana and I to have a doctor's visit to ask some questions and get reassurance that Kate is growing well. Kate has been eating a lot (through lots of effort from Jana) and she's bulked up to 7 pounds 12 ounces. Yes! She's also been getting a lot longer; she's now 20 1/4 inches long. Both her weight and her height put her in about the 10-25th percentile, so she's still a little peanut!
According to our doctor Kate has great eye contact and looked on the verge of smiling at us. We haven't captured it on camera yet, but the other night Kate had her first social smile with Jana. I'm still waiting for my smile! Everything in terms of Kate physically and developmentally looked great, and we're looking forward to her continued improvement with eating.
Kate still isn't doing the best job of eating, so this past week we had a lactation consultant come to our house and work with Jana for a while. It was very helpful and it reassured us that we've been doing everything correctly, while at the same time we have a few new hints that might enhance Kate's eating. Jana has been working hard on incorparating those ideas and already things are getting better. Of course, it also helps that Kate is getting bigger and has more strength!
Keep on the lookout for another post soon with more pictures because we've got some exciting events coming up over the weekend.
