esther at 6 weeks (for the record)

this blog is fun to let people know what is going on in our lives but we have also realized that it functions as a baby book for the kiddies down the road. esther went in for her 6 week check up today and all is good with her health. on our last visit, the dr. said she had a click in her right hip that might be hip dysplasia. after an ultrasound 2 weeks ago, we were told that everything was okay which we are thrilled about! below is a picture at her check up today on the scale before a massive freak out caused by shots and another silly one from our trip to chicago this past week.

at 6 weeks, esther is now smiling lots and and interacting much more with us! we have hit a little bump in the road in fussiness in the past 2 weeks or so which we hope has been caused by the travel. she is doing a great job sleeping at night and usually goes down for bed at around 9:30, wakes to eat at 5:00/5:30, and then back down again until 8:00 or 9:00. her sleep habits during the day are a little less predictable. we are trying to figure things out in that area! :-)

her stats at 6 weeks...
weight: 9 lbs. 14.5 ounces (50th percentile)
height: 22" long (75th percentile)
head: 38 cm. (50th percentile)
