One Month!

Olivia Grace, you are one month old!

(as of two days ago)

(she's doing a little fist pump to say "Yay")

What have you been up to?

 *You eat almost every two hours like clock work.  Sometimes you are hungry sooner, and a few times you've lasted a little longer.

*If you take a bottle, you usually drink about 4 ounces.  You don't have any problems transition from bottle to breast, but you are a very messy bottle eater.  Although, you did eat 4 ounces of breastmilk at the restaurant the other night without drooling it all over the place!

*You still only sleep two to three hours.  You've made it 3 and a half to 4 hours a few nights and I do appreciate it.

*You have officially grown out of your newborn clothes.  Some of the 0 to 3 month clothes are still too big, but you'll fill them up soon enough.

*You are out of newborn diapers and into size 1 diapers as well.  They still have a little extra room at the bottom, but that's OK...less blow outs with room for it to go! :)

*You make the funniest faces.  Daddy and I are always laughing at you... or snapping a picture!

*You make lots of noises--especially at night.  You grunt, honk, and much more.

*Sometimes you love your pacifier and sometimes you refuse it.  We have all sorts of pretty ones, but you prefer the nipple on the plain Jane one.

*Your hands are still always up by your face.  Sometimes you shove them in your mouth.  You can't always find your thumb, but when you do you suck it loudly.

* You are still holding on to that hair.  It's a little thinner and lighter in color, but still there.

*Your eyes are still gray/blue.  I think they are going to be blue.  What do I know though?  I've been wrong about everything else so far.

*You enjoy baths for the most part.

*You also don't mind your car seat.

(A cupcake to celebrate the day--her expression cracks me up!)

*You enjoy music.  You like when I sing to you.  You've watched Praise Baby once and liked it.  You enjoy your toys that play songs.

*You love your mommy.  You might cry when others hold you, but you stop pretty quickly for me.  (Except when you are being super fussy.)

*You have been spitting up less.  It's not projectile anymore, and it's not after every meal.  I still can't decide if it's from acid reflux or milk intolerance.  I'm trying to hold out until your two week appointment to ask the doctor, but I'm not sure we'll make it.

 

*You've been VERY fussy the last few days.  Gas drops seem to help.  I'm hoping it gets better soon.

HAPPY ONE MONTH BABY GIRL!

WE LOVE YOU!
