Hollie was weighed at 5+1 weighing 8lbs 2oz, her original birth weight was 6lbs 8oz so a good gain. Hollie lost 2% of her birth weight in the first week but gained it back again in a week.
Week 5 we noticed quite few changes with Hollie such as she was more aware of things around her, she was recogniseing mine and James's voices, Hollie has also started filling out the newborn/first size & up to 1 month clothing she has. Hollie seems to have her daddy's legs that are lovely and long.
Hollie had started smiling in week 4, but week 5 she has been smiling a lot specially when being spoken to. Also In week 4 we noticed Hollie was coo'ing a lot at night but this has developed more in week 5 and seems to be non stop once she starts.
And finally her feeds have gone up to 5oz Every 3ish hours during the day and anywhere between 3/4 5 hours at night.
So it's safe to say Hollie had a very big leap in week 5.
We are now on Week 6, I have no idea where the time is going but it's going way too quick for my liking. As much as I love seeing her grow, seeing her developing and changing I already miss the First days, as they are days that go by so fast and in a blur. Savour them days is my advice. keep it just you and your little family soak it all up don't be in a hurry to do things, just sit and stare at your newborn if you can have as many cuddles with them as possible as they change & grow so quick.
