Rose’s 6 week check-up
weight: 12.3 lbs
height: 23 1/2″
Rose’s appointment revealed that she is in the 97th percentile for height and weight! The doctor was impressed by the growth spurt she had. She is a BIG, healthy girl!
While she still isn’t quite sleeping through the night she is getting there, going for 4-5 hour stretches at a time. I think one reason Lulu turned out to be such a great sleeper from the start is because she’s a summer baby and we had her out and about all of the time in the fresh air and sunshine, where poor Rose is housebound since it’s cold and snowy outside right now.
While she’s awake, she is a bit of a curmudgeon. She rarely seems content and is often fussy. A lot of it I contribute to tummy troubles, she is always doubling over with gas problems and may even be a touch colicky. Gas drops are our friend! The doctor did say that this will get better as she gets older. She’s so sweet. We hate to see her so uncomfortable.
And in the past week or so she has started to lose her hair, although not as severe as when Lulu lost hers! I predict Rosie is going to have dark hair, like her mother. It’ll be fun to find out!

Awww, poor grumpy girl! I hope her tummy issues start clearing up soon so she can start to enjoy herself! Great to hear that she’s so health otherwise! Also, what’s with you and making adorable Amazonian babies? ;D

Lulu had more of a Phil Collins thing going on, where Rosie seems to be emulating Bill Murray with her pokey hair! ;D Yeah I think she’s going to have dark hair too. So pretty!
