Smile, it's Colic!

It’s confirmed. Ashlyn’s Doctor feels that it’s the dreaded colic. The past four nights have been long for mom, who’s had to adjust her sleeping schedule to Ashlyn’s 3:00am bed time. The Doctor went ahead and did all the shots and measurements while she was there. They don’t give exact percentages on growth, but they do categorize into buckets: 50% (meaning average), 75%, and 95%. The higher the percentage, the greater above average. Here’s where our little Ashlyn sits:
  • Weight: 50%, she’s right on track for her age.
  • Length: 95%, she’s a long baby!
  • Head: 75%, she’s got a decent sized noggin’.
The best news though is that her Doctor has given Ashlyn a clean bill of health, she’s a still a happy and healthy baby girl. To mark this welcome news, here’s a video of some smiles that we caught on camera.

Please forgive the repeating music.  The actual song is over 3 minutes long, but the section I cut out for the video is the only part I could use.  Despite the upbeat words and whistling in the video, the rest of the song would get people in trouble at work for listening to it.
