One Month

Baby girl turned 1 month last week.  I really can't believe it's been a month.  I've probably spent most of this month in my pajamas or some variation of black yoga pants ensemble.  But each day is better than the last, and we are starting to get into our new normal routine.

We are happy to report that Hannah's weight is gaining.  She was 7lbs 1oz at one month and 19" long!  She is getting stronger and more alert with each day.  Hannah can challenge us to some serious staring contests and many times win.

She has taken bottles with expressed milk without a problem and can switch back to nursing the next feeding.  This makes me so happy because it allows Weston and other folks to feed and bond with her, and it has given me a sense of freedom to be out of the house with her for more than a quick trip somewhere.

 

She loves to be held and cuddled.  We are still working on her sleeping routine.  At one month, she sleeps 2.5 hours at the longest, but usually it is 1.5-2 hour stretches.

 

She loves her baths now.  From day one, she's loved getting her hair washed.  We were anticipating a full lung wail the first time we stuck her hair under the stream of water, but she was so calm and seemed to enjoy it.

 

Happy 1 month baby girl!
