34 Weeks Old

Posted by: babyschiller on: November 26, 2009

First of all, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I was torn–should I wait until later in the day so I could post pictures of Audrey in her Thanksgiving finery, or should I publish this morning to make sure it gets done? Yeah. I have visions of me in a turkey coma later this afternoon, so I figured I’d [...]

33 Weeks Old

Audrey has her first official play date today at 10:00am! I joined a local moms’ group, and one of the members is coming over with her 9-month old daughter, Kendall. And since Audrey is the size of your average 12-month old, I figured it would be a good match. I should have some pretty cute [...]

6 Month Appointment

Posted by: babyschiller on: October 2, 2009

We just came from Audrey’s six-month appointment. She’s 28″ long, which is completely off the charts–the size of an average 1 year old!–and weighs 17lbs 4oz, putting her in the 75th percentile for weight. She did well at the appointment, even through the vaccines. She wanted to show you her band-aids.

Nineteen Weeks Old

Audrey saw her pediatrician on Saturday (which was also, coincidentally, her aunt Audrey’s 30th birthday–happy birthday, Audrey the Elder!) and she’s doing really well! She’s 25.5 inches long and weighs 15 lbs 3 oz, which puts her in the 95th percentile for length and the 75th percentile for weight. She’s on track or ahead for [...]

Seventeen Weeks Old / Four Months Old

Posted by: babyschiller on: July 30, 2009

Audrey is 17 weeks old today, and will be four months old this Sunday. I can safely say that she is the sweetest baby ever. Let me tell you, over the past few weeks, this child has been through a lot–enough to crack most adults–but she remains the sweetest, smiliest little thing I’ve ever seen. [...]

Sixteen Weeks Old

WARNING: This is a loooooooong one…
Ah, how fondly I remember the optimism of last week’s post…
Things went rapidly downhill. Last weekend, we noticed streaks of blood in Audrey’s spit up, which as you might imagine, scared us to death. We took her to the pediatrician on Monday and he gave us a new medicine and [...]

Fourteen Weeks Old

Posted by: babyschiller on: July 9, 2009

It’s been a hectic week. Last Friday, we had to take Audrey to the Georgetown ER because she refused to take any fluids for about 12 hours. (All the nurses LOVED her–she was her usual smiley, adorable self.) They gave her IV hydration (I had to leave the room for the IV) and told us [...]

Thirteen Weeks / Three Months Old

Posted by: babyschiller on: July 2, 2009

Hey, Mom? I get it now. All those times when I was sick or did something stupid and you were absolutely crazy with worry and told me I’d understand when I had children of my own? Well, I understand.
It’s been a rough week here in Babyland. Over the past two weeks, Audrey had been eating [...]

Just For Fun…

Posted by: babyschiller on: May 4, 2009

… and because it’s a hilarious picture. Behold this picture of Audrey with her cousin Jenna’s baby doll:

So funny!
Audrey saw the doctor today to follow up on her acid reflux issues. She’s doing very well! Despite her tummy trouble, she’s gaining weight like you wouldn’t believe. She already weighs 11 pounds 6 ounces, up from [...]

Four Weeks Old

Posted by: babyschiller on: April 30, 2009

I can’t believe Audrey is already four weeks old!

She’s been a busy girl–eating and sleeping and working…

OK, so she’s not working. She’s reading celebrity gossip–WE ALL DO IT. She’s wearing a onesie that Mike’s company, Berico, sent her. Berico’s logo is “Be Smarter. Be Faster.” The onesie says “Be Smarter. Be Cuter.” And she is!
She’s [...]
