2 1/2 weeks later!!


Can you believe that Delia is now 2 1/2 weeks old? Time has definitely flown bye. She is doing great when we took her in for her 1 week appointment, it was actually at 9 days, she was up from 7 lbs 11 oz to 8 lbs 1 oz. Dr. Abarca was very impressed with her weight gain, he said that usually they like to see the baby back up to birth weight by 2 weeks and the fact that she has gained is great! She is really filling out, her little thighs are chunking up and she is getting a double chin, I think that this is the only time in life that these are good and welcoming things!! :o)


Lorenzo and Claire really love her, and at times are on the verge of smoothering her with loves. They have to always out do each other; if one gives her a kiss, the other has to give her 2, then the other has to give her 3 kisses and a hug etc... I'm glad that they love her so much, but at times it can get out of control!
I can only image she is thinking, "Man earth life is SCARY!"

She has so much dark fluffy hair!!

Julie,... it's a "maya wrap". I LOVE it! I've got 2 of 'em, one in a twill fabric and one in a t-shirt fabric. They were PERFECT for traveling! The other carriers that went between the legs would leave marks on Jennah's thighs.... these were more comfortable for her (and me!)... here's the website...
