Time is flying by and Adley is beefing up before our eyes :)
On Thursday mornings I go to a weigh in group at our hospital. They weigh Adley with her diaper off then again with it on and then she eats. When she is all done eating she gets weighed again with her diaper on to see how much she has eaten. It's really nice to know she's growing and getting enough milk. It takes away a lot of worry, plus I love the support from the other moms. Camille, the lactation specialist, is so wonderful that even the one year olds come back to visit her from time to time and refer to her as Auntie.
Last Thursday when we went in Adley weighed 9lbs 6oz. She gained 9oz in one week!!! She had gone through quite the grow spurt, which explains her constant need to eat last week. This week has brought on the opposite from last weeks cluster feedings. Last night Adley went 5 1/2 hours before needing to eat again! That's the most consecutive sleep I've had in 5 weeks!
With all of her growing we had to retire her newborn size clothes and newborn diapers. The 0-3 month things still have a bit of room to grow but they also allow her to breathe. I'm a little sad that she is never going to be that small again but looking forward to dressing her in all the new cute clothes that everyone has sent, instead of rotating the same 8 outfits.
Today Adley was sporting a little pink hat while we took her on her first little hike up to Boulder Falls. She slept in her baby carrier strapped to me while Matt carried the camera and shot pictures along the way.
Here are some if the great pictures from her first hike:
