Chase and Cammi Bevans

6 Weeks Old!

• 'She is so alert and awake... she is only 6 weeks she should just be eating and sleeping and pooping!'
• 'Seriously, I can't believe this baby she is doing things a 3 month old baby does!'
• 'She puts weight on her legs when you hold her up and she is holding up her head, she is flexing her arms when I lift her up by her hands... I can't believe it.'
• 'She weighs 11 pounds, which is on track. And she is 23 and 1/4 inches long.' (She was 8 pounds and 21 inches when she was born.)
• 'Her hematoma (sp?) is a lot smaller and I'm confident with a little more time it will be completely gone.' (she has that from her birth because they used the vacuum.)
• He also checked her thrush she has had and said it is coming off of her tongue itself so we do not need another round of medicine.
• 'I have NO concerns at all with her and I really can't believe she is only 6 weeks old. I don't need to see her again until she is 3 months!'

I was so happy when we left the Doctors Office. She really is so strong but I have never had a baby before so I didn't think she was doing anything out of the ordinary. She does hold her own head up, and she will stand when we hold her up by putting weight down on her legs. Chase and I always comment on how strong she is but it was nice to hear the Doctor say those things. Zayah has spit up maybe 4 times in her life, she mostly just gives me really big burps in between feedings and then she is fine. I love that she is not a barfy baby. She is focusing on things and smiling so much and even gave the Doctor a smile while we were there. She has the most hilarious 'poop' face, I will have to put the picture up that I caught, so funny. We can't get enough of her so I am sorry if you are sick of hearing about her, but I can't help it!! She's our perfect little girl!
