1 Month Birthday!

I can't believe how fast the first month has flown by. Maya has exceeded all of our expectations - not only is she way more adorable than we could have ever imagined, she is also so smart, engaged and well-behaved.

We had a pretty full day today, starting with Maya's 1-month checkup with Dr. Shang. We got updated measurements for Maya's height, weight and head size:
Weight: 9 lbs, 8 oz (59th percentile)
Height: 21.25 inches (55th percentile)
Head Size: 14.8 inches (63rd percentile)

Here is a chart that shows how she's grown over the last month:

Other than that, the appointment was pretty routine. Dr. Shang says she still has a little bit of jaundice, but that should go away within the next few weeks. Our next appointment, at 2 months, will be the hard one - that's when she gets her first shots. :(

After the doctor appointment, Maya and I went to our first Stroller Strides exercise class. It was so much fun, we met lots of other new moms and I got to work out for the first time in a month! Here is a picture of us doing jumping jacks while singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to our babies. They must have thought we were nuts!


We spent most of the afternoon chilling at home, but then we went to the Pru at 5pm to meet Tara, my old boss at Ocean Spray. On the way, we ran into Liz and John at ISIS, and then afterward bumped into EJ from Arnold. What a social outing!

Tomorrow is our first day of class! We have the ISIS Great Beginnings class for the next 6 weeks, to help us meet new moms and babies around the same age in the city. We can't wait!
