I am not sure about your weight or height {based on the clothes you are outgrowing... you are def. growing!} We will get the official stats in our next appointment in a month.
You wear mostly newborn clothes {much to my surprise with how big you were} ... a few 0-3 months, and are about to move up to a size 1 diaper {once this box of newborn is gone}. We still don't really have a schedule. We were starting to get there but then you hit a growth spurt... and for the last three days you have been eating every 1-1 1/2 hours. But I think it may be over now seeing as how you have been asleep for two hours already! At night you mostly sleep for 3 hours at a time. A couple of times you have stretched to 4 hours- and it was amazing! You are very alert and great at holding your head up. When laying on our chest you like to push up with your forearms to look around. You still love to be swaddled or wrapped in a blanket at almost all times! You don't exactly love the car seat- and you definitely DO NOT love the sling. We will be revisiting the sling issue in the near future because I could really use the extra hands! At night you sleep in our room in the bassinet. When you wake up we change your diaper, swaddle you, nurse, burp and go back to sleep.
Your first month of life has been very busy. You went to Christmas Eve services at church. Christmas day was spent at Grandma and Grandpa Curran's, Aunt Linda and Uncle Duane's for lunch and back home for dinner with the rest of the family. You have been out to Target shopping with the girls {grandma and aunt Elizabeth}, one trip to Sam's and even made your first appearance at Bueno for lunch. New Year's Eve was spent at the Aberle's. This week will be your first Sunday at church... and we are ready to be back in church after a month away! You even had newborn pictures taken!
We are so excited to have you here with us! We pray for you daily that you would grow up to love God and love people! You are precious baby girl and a joy to our lives!
To say the last month has been a bit crazy would be an understatement.
Here are some of the pictures we had taken by a wonderful photographer! She's pretty cute!
Happy birthday, Brynlee!! I look forward to many, many more shopping trips with you. :-) Also, have you tried the Baby Bjorn? She might like it better!
ReplyDeleteI tried it once and she screamed... but we will try again sometime! I am determined to get her to like one of them!
ReplyDeleteI love that blanket!! It looks like one of the diaper bags I have by Petunia Pickle Bottom! Please tell me where you got it! I have an obsession with blankets :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! The blanket actually came from my mom- it is a fleece one that is tied on the sides. SO the fabric is fleece that I think came from Hobby Lobby. The other side is plain brown!
