Healthy Baby

Nora had her two-week well baby visit to the pediatrician today - she's one healthy girl! She's gaining weight steadily now, up to 10 lbs 10 oz, so just over her birth weight (it's normal for babies to lose up to 10% of their birth weight at first, and then they usually gain it back by 2 weeks; Nora was down to a low of 9 lb 4 oz at 4 days old, then she started gaining again). The doctor thinks she's doing great--so do her Mama and Daddy--and everything looks fine. She was exhausted from her outing this morning!



Yesterday, for Nora's first Memorial Day, the family went to visit Nana and Babchi in Mattapoisett. Nora finally got to meet her Aunt Emily (we like to call her Auntie Em), who is home from college for the summer. We all walked down to the River Race to see the boats coming in. All the neighbors were excited to meet her, and thought she was adorable riding around in her sling. Good Times were had by all.
