Watch us grow!
Today, we went to City Hall and the Office of Vital Records to pick up Janie’s birth certificate. I filled out some paperwork while we were still in the hospital but it wasn’t going to be ready until 4 weeks after her birthday. When we got there, there was no line! Yay! Within 5 minutes, Janie had her birth certificate in her hot little hands to show off to the world.
We also took her around San Francisco City Hall for the first time since this is her birth city and all.
Her head and cheeks are getting bigger and heavier but she’s still able to keep up with them during Tummy Time. And look who has eyebrows now! They were really light when she was born but now you can really see them.
Janie is such a chunky monkey now and it makes her so much fun to snuggle. Can you spot Koa in the background of the second photo? He’s always checking up on her.
We’ve always said that Little Janie gets her scowl from her Daddy. Well, here’s proof.
This afternoon we took Janie to see the doctor for her one-month check-up. The doctor was very impressed with her growth. Just look at those cheeks and that belly!
Here are the stats:
Weight: 11 pounds!! (7 lbs. 10 oz. at birth)
Length: 21.5 inches (20 inches at birth)
Head Circumference: 36.5 cm (33.5 at birth)
At the end of the appointment she got a Heb B injection in her left thigh. She started out so happy and calm even with the needle in her leg (as you can see in the photo) and actually didn’t start crying until the nurse pushed the solution into her leg. Then it was all tears, screaming, and a beet-red face! Even Jes was taken aback by the injection and picked her up right away. Poor baby!
Today, our baby girl turned one month old. I can’t believe we’ve reached this point already! To celebrate, we went out for dim sum and invited all her local aunties, uncles, and future playmates.
The food was tasty as usual and it was fun to see all the kids and their parents around the table.
It was a warm, sunny day so some of us walked to the restaurant together and back. Janie stayed awake for the whole stroller ride.
Here’s a photo of the three of us together. Janie couldn’t be bothered to pose for the photo. Apparently, the skylight above was far more interesting.
This morning, we put this sweater on her and it actually kind of fits now! When we initially brought her home on Day 2, she was swimming in it. My my, how you’ve grown!! Happy One Month, Kaylee Jane!! We love you!!
Yai gave Janie a bath today. She only cried a little at the beginning this time.
Here she is all happy in her hoodie towel. Yippee! All clean!
Janie likes to be upright even when she sleeps so she sometimes naps in the stroller. Today I found her practicing her hula in her sleep. That’s my girl! Can’t wait to take her to practice when she’s older.
Tummy Time was spent by the big window today. We think she may be able to see a little more now because she likes to stare in the direction of the windows in the house nowadays.
