Janie: 1 month old

1month (1 of 1)

Can’t believe this little lady is a month old.  We sure do love having her in our family.

She’s quite a good baby – I can’t complain at all about having a hard newborn.  That can always change but so far, so good.

A little bit about Janie . . .

- she smiles!  and “talks”.  It’s pretty cute how responsive she is.

- she loves her binky.

- she loves to sleep in her carseat.  She’s very portable!

- at night she still sleeps in her little papasan chair.  She likes being elevated and is a great sleeper so we’ve kept her there so far!

- she varies between sleeping for four hours at night to sleeping eight {yes, I said 8} hours at night!  Didn’t know that was possible with a 1 month old.

- She’s generally pretty content during the day.  She will let you know when she’s hungry or if she needs a diaper change or a little attention, but is overall a happy girl.

- When she’s awake and laying down, she is almost always kicking one of her legs.

- She’s a little chunk.  At her one month appointment she weighed 11.2 pounds and was 22.5”.  Her head had grown a lot since she was born so Dr. Carrie was talking to me about that.  She measured my head and determined that the big head is probably just genetic.  Lovely.

- she loves her bath.

- She is a great eater.  She latched on from day 1 and has been a great eater.  She’ll nurse or take a bottle!

- She likes to be swaddled.

- She is a cuddler.

- She is very expressive with her hands and eyebrows.

- her nighttime routine consists of her being kept awake . . . a bath around 9pm that calms her down and wakes her up for a little bit . . . mama feeding her and Wes’ magic touch of rocking and cuddles before she’s out!

- Janie and I spent a lot of time sitting in a chair on the driveway watching the boys play outside.

We love this little lady of ours!

So glad that she is a great baby. Where do I get one of those? She is so cute! Love her little outfits and her chubby little cheeks. Glad all is going well. I am glad that you are getting sleep. It makes all t he difference. Beautiful little girl you have.

8 hours?! 8 hours!? Hallelujah for you! I swear sleeping is the making of happiness.

And she is beautiful Lindz, just beautiful.

And I don't think she has any shortage of love in your household.
