You are getting so big! I love looking at pictures of you from when we were in the hospital because it's hard to remember you that small. You used to fit inside my tank-top! There's no way you could do that now. You've come so far, sweet pea, and we are so incredibly proud of you.
Adjusted Age: 1 month
Weight: No Well Visit this month, but you are around 10lbs
Diaper Size: Size 1. The newborn size was getting a little narrow, so we made the switch last week and they are a little big. They almost reach your armpits!
Clothing Size: 0-3 months, but they are HUGE! Newborns were too short so I moved you up. You are a long and lean girl. I was a little sad packing up all the newborns but am so excited to dress you in all the cute 0-3 months clothes that I bought you while I was still pregnant and those that Auntie Amanda lent us.
Diet: You are eating just under 4 ounces every 3 hours. I no longer have to fortify Momma's milk so you are getting less calories a day, but still growing nice and big! We are still working on breastfeeding and you are doing so much better now that your sucking muscles are getting stronger. Sometimes I don't even have to pump afterwards. I'm still having supply issues so you get about one bottle of high calorie formula a day.
Sleep: You are awake much longer during the day and only get up once during the night, usually somewhere between 2:30am and 3:30am. You are sleeping much better now that we swaddle you. More sleep has been so wonderful! When you were still inside, you always woke me up around 3am with all your kicking and I see now you were just preparing me for your night-time awake time.
Baby Gear Love: You love your swing, bouncy seat, Moby wrap, activity mat, and fishy toy, and the ceiling fan. You are into playing now, which has been so fun to watch!
Milestones/Firsts: Your neck muscles are getting stronger everyday! It's much easier for you to keep your giant head at mid-line now which means even better head control. You are smiling and laughing, which we LOVE so much! You are starting at bat at toys on your activity mat too.
Likes: Eating, singing smiling, laughing, the ceiling fan (you could watch it for hours), snuggling with Mom and Dad, playing, rocking, and warm baths
Things I Don’t Want to Forget: I love the way you snuggle into my neck. It is pretty much my favorite thing. If you aren't close enough for your liking, you'll kick and push your legs against me in a mock crawl to push yourself closer to my neck. It's the only way you'll fall asleep. You are so precious and we love watching you grow and notice new things in your environment. Your little smile lights up your face and explodes our hearts. You are our little miracle.
