Some of the Baby Basics and Milestones

Here's a few stats and things about Vera:

• We swaddle her at night with both arms out.  The thriller thing (see previous post) is really her thing - she likes having her hands.
• Size 1 diapers.  Size 0 (newborn) pretty much lasted just the first week.
• The newborn size clothes are really tight - most of what she wears is 0-3 months.  
• She weighed in at 9 lbs 4 oz at her 1-week checkup.  (And seems to be ganing more even since - after 1 night away this week I think I actually saw her bulk up a little.
• She's stroller ridden around the block 2 or 3 times (including with Griffin right behind her on the add-on skateboard thing for the stroller).
• We still hold her head all the time, but she's got one of the strongest necks of any 17 day old I've ever known and she uses it to throw that big head around.
