Growth Spurt?

They claim that when your baby starts wanting to eat more frequently during the day, she is going through a growth spurt. I can't imagine Gabby getting any bigger any more quickly! Last week she weighed 11 lbs. 6 oz. Today at my mom's group, she weighed 12 lbs. 2 oz. That is an increase of 12 oz. in one week. The average weight gain is supposed to be 4 to 8 oz. a week. I knew she was an overachiever! At my mom's group, there is only one baby who is bigger than Gabby, and he is 2 weeks older than she is! Gabby has gained weight more rapidly than that little boy did from birth to their current weights. Everyone is always SO surprised that our little chunky girl is only 5 and a half weeks old! She took a great nap this afternoon ( 3 hours!) in her swing that Sarah and Travis bought her. She loves that thing!

Gabby is eagerly awaiting the birth of her cousin Burke, who was due on Halloween. Her Aunt Sarah is being induced tomorrow morning and will hopefully have her baby by tomorrow night! We are all so excited to see it!!!

By the way, Happy Birthday, Great-Grandpa George!!! Love, Gabby
