Leni - 6 weeks

We had Leni's 6 week appointment today. She is actually 7 weeks old today, but her appointment was delayed a week. 

She weighed in at 11 lb 11 oz, though she was weighed with her clothes and diaper on, so not entirely accurate. 

She is almost 24 inches (long!). 

Over the last week or so, Leni has developed a hernia in her bellybutton. Not to be worried, I guess, unless it is not reducible and it should go away on its own by her first birthday. 

The doctor also heard a faint heart murmur while I was holding her, but couldn't hear the same when Leni was lying down... so not too worried, but i guess it's pretty benign in babies anyway. 

The biggest thing to note - Leni smiled at me today! Not once, but numerous times! She has smiled at Gemma a couple of times and maybe my mom and maybe Jesse, but this was the first time she looked at me and smiled. It really just melted my heart!!!
