One Month

I can't believe my baby girl is already a month old! It feels like just yesterday I was pregnant and impatiently awaiting her arrival:) I've shared my birth story with most friends but I'm just not ready to relive it and write it down...in time.
Adam and I have been truly blessed with a healthy, beautiful, and happy baby.  She has made our lives so joyous in this short amount of time.  We love her more than we could ever imagine

One month stats:

• Not sure about height and weight since we've not had a check-up since 2 weeks (go back at 2 months).  But if I had to guess I would say she's pushing close to 9 lbs and probably grown at least 1/2-1 inch.  
• Clothes: 0-3 months!  She now longer fits in any of her newborn clothes (so sad!)  Some of the 0-3 months are a bit long, especially the pants.  But for the most part the Carter's outfits fit great.
• Diapers: Size 1 (again no longer fitting into newborn).  We're still trying all different brands since that's what we were gifted but I think I'm liking Huggies better!
• Sleep: Well the first two weeks were a total bust-even if we did the same thing every night she would sleep great one night and not at all the next!  Needless to say we were exhausted!  But I took advantage of her napping during the day and did the same!  Maybe not everyday but at least every other day I got a little cat nap which totally saved me:)  Over the last 2 weeks things have definitely taken a turn for the better.  I'm feeling more comfortable with our BF (nursing) schedule and we are having more "good" nights and I think that plays a part!  She sleeps in the PNP in our bedroom.  During the day she naps downstairs either on the couch or in the cradle
• Activity: She loves her swing and has even fallen asleep on her own in it a few times.  Everyday we do a little tummy time and her head control is getting stronger.  We sing, play, and read books.  For her one month, Adam and I bought her an activity mat and she loved it!  We've been talking to her lots and waiting for that awake smile---which finally came Sunday!!  Melted my heart that morning bright and early and then she did it again for Adam around lunch time--best thing ever! It's not a big belly laugh just yet but a little smirk!  She's so serious all the time ha!

• Outings: Weather permitting we will walk around the neighborhood either during the day when Adam is at work or at night after dinner with the whole family!  I've yet to venture out with Brodie and Stella on my own:)  Last weekend, Stella made her first trip to the mall--and she was a trooper! She slept the whole time:)  And I ran a few errands by myself with her earlier in the week and she made it so easy for me!  Looking forward to more outings with my baby girl!
