We have had a great month with our sweet Emma! She is growing every day and quickly changing from that newborn phase to a baby...make sense? Does to me :)
Weight: 13lbs 15oz
Height: 25 1/2"...although I did see her squirming around a good bit while they were taking this measurement...so who knows how accurate that actually is
Size Diaper: 2
Size Clothes: 3 months, 3-6 months
Eating: She nurses every 3 hours (sometimes goes 4 in the afternoon, but not too often), so she eats 6-7 times a day (including night feedings). When I pump and give a bottle she is taking about 5-6oz.
Sleeping: Not much. It takes forever to get her to finally fall asleep, but once she's down she typically takes a good morning nap and she will always take an afternoon nap if I hold her... I know, I know, you're not supposed to do that...but you just do what you've got to do to get her to sleep. Not to mention I love the snuggle time :) Both of those naps are any where from 1-2 1/2 hours long. She typically will sleep for a little bit in the evening too (30min-1 hour)..usually in her swing or car seat just depending on where we are. She also sleeps any time we are in the car as long as it is moving! At night she is going down anywhere between 7-8..depending on our schedule for the day. She will sleep for a good 6 or so hours, but almost always wakes up at 2, 4 and 6...this is why I am sleep deprived :) She will take a paci for the 2:00 wake up time and sometimes at 4, but she always eats at either 4 or 6...or both. I think this next month we are going to start doing a dream feed and see if that will help...oh I hope so!!!
She is rolling from tummy to back a lot...which makes tummy time last all of two seconds! She is also rolling from back to tummy as well, but not as often as the other direction.
She loves laying on her play mat and playing with the toys hanging above her. She rolls all over this mat so unless she is occupied with one of the toys, she is typically moving herself on to the rug!
She has started laughing, which is absolutely precious :) Playing peek-a-boo, bouncing her up and down, and playing with her toes will always guarantee a good laugh!
As far as night time goes...she is starting off on her back, but we typically switch her to her tummy during the first paci run (around 2am) each night.
She loves, loves, loves watching Watson. He is precious with her so she is already a big fan of her big brother. I love watching the two of them interact with each other.
Though it seems a little early, she has already decided that she wants to be with mommy or daddy...and really no one else. It's actually kind of embarrassing because she will start WAILING when someone else picks her up... we will see how long this phase lasts!
Bath time is always fun..she has started to really love it. Even if she is fussy, she will calm down in the bath and start kicking her legs like she is so excited...it is absolutely precious!
We pulled out the bumbo and she was not quite sure what to think of it. She was really nervous at first but then started smiling. Her neck is getting really strong so she is able to hold her head stable for a good little while, but you can definitely tell when she starts getting tired as she will start bobbing that little head back and forth.
She is drooling a lot, loves blowing little spit bubbles, and her fingers are always in her mouth. She also enjoys playing with/chewing on her doll and rattle. Her coos and babbles are the most precious noises in the world.
We love our sweet baby girl with all of our hearts and are so thankful for the joy and smiles she brings to our family. Oh how we pray that the Lord will continue to fill us with His wisdom so that we can be the best possible parents to our precious children!
