The Zen Center here in Crestone has a large lunch every April at the end of their yearly retreat. Its a wonderful meal with amazing people and its always an honor to be invited. This year we asked if we could bring Piper (I told them she doesn't tend to scream and doesn't eat much).
And she did incredible!
It is quite the crowd, lots of loud and unpredictable noises, but she was mellow and slept in her Dad's arms for most of the afternoon. Later she ate and hung out with Mom in the carrier while greeting her new friends. She doesn't seem overstimulated at the moment, so we'll see as the night progresses how she fairs.
In other news Piper had a check up with our Midwife Alycia and she is now 12lbs. Well, she was 11.14lb and at the rate she's gaining by now she'd be 12lbs. What is considered an average weight gain for a baby her age is 1oz. a day, at this rate Piper's averaging 2oz. a day. For you body conscious out there have no fear and no hang-ups on Piper's behalf, in the baby world this is a very very good and healthy thing. And with her activity level she's doing great. No new rolling over sightings, but she's working on other projects at the moment.
