Uncle Rin stayed over for 2 days to help babysit. He quickly earned the title Nanny R-I-N. When Austen needed to be soothed, he applied a special technique (the 6th “S”): singing in Italian. Despite his singing, Austen calmed down. He would say it was a direct result of the singing. Who are we to argue with the Nanny?
Austen also went in for her one month pediatrician visit yesterday. Everything checked out well. The ped. told us to start baby-proofing the house now; oh joy.
The obligatory baby details:
Weight: She went from 7 lbs 6 oz at 5 days old to 9 lbs 14 oz in about one month.
Length: She grew almost 2” in length (from 20" to 21.75")
Head: She grew from 13.5” to 15”
Austen is also starting to roll a little from her back to her side. Not enough to get on her stomach just yet but it looks like it’s going to happen soon. While this may be good from a developmental perspective, it means we have to watch her even closer now (i.e. no more “Austen, stay put. I’ll be right back!”).
