Tomorrow Laila will be 6 weeks old, and we went today for her 6 week well visit at the pediatrician's office.

Laila is now 10 lbs 1 oz (up from 8.2 at 2 weeks), which puts her in the 50th percentile for weight, and she is 23.5 in (up from 21.5), which is the 90th percentile for height. Not surprising, given what her parents look like! I was 10 lbs 11 oz and 22 in at 6 weeks old.

The doctor confirmed that Laila is in fact smiling responsively (we still weren't quite sure), is tracking things with her eyes well and looks like a happy, healthy 6 week old. She did have to get her first vaccination today, and she took it like a champ! She only cried for about 3 seconds which made it a lot less traumatic on mommy and daddy.

fanisHow fortunate for a great-grandmother to have such a beautiful, perfect little Laila. can't wait to see her and the rest off my family at Thanksgiving. Praise the Lord!
I couldn't print the top pic fast enough to carry around with me - adorable!
she is going to be taller than you, heather!
1st vaccination at 6 weeks? Hmm. I'll keep my east coast pediatrician comments to myself. Beautiful pics and sounds like she's doing great. Can't wait to meet her.
