One Month Old

Kherington is one month old today!...man, she's getting old! She is very long and skinny. She had graduated from newborn onsies to 0-3 month onsies (only because she is so long). The rest of the 0-3 months clothes still swallow her up. The first two weeks after she was born she spent so much time awake. Not necessarily crying, just awake and looking around. Then just in the last couple days she's been sleeping, waking up to eat and going back to sleep...i believe that means growth spurt.

Nights are interesting. The first couple weeks I just didn't hear her, but Ryan would wake up to everything. If I did wake up, I'd rollover and tell Ryan to get a bottle or make her to stop crying (I don't remember that one, but Ryan does). I've gotten better though. I like the current system. She gets put to sleep in her crib, wakes up at 2-3am and 6-7am to eat. If she doesn't go back to sleep, Ryan takes her and I sleep until I wake up (yesterday that wasn't until almost 11am). Hopefully by the time I go back to work, we can convince her that she doesn't want to eat at 2-3am.

Some things about Kherington:

• She now sleep in her crib (aka pack n play) for the first 3 hours of the night
  
• Poos by herself - no more poo pellets to help it come out
• Doesn't mind sitting in a wet or poopy diaper
• Has left her mark on every couch cushion even when we use the changing pad (fyi: girls pee shoots too)
• Enjoys all of bath time - not just getting her hair washed
• Takes both a bottle and a pacifier
• Likes to sleep on her stomach...too bad she is supposed to sleep on her back
• Has strong neck muscles
• Has a cute cry when she jolts out of sleep and is hungry (she doesn't even get her eyes open before the cry starts)
  
• Is a pretty chill baby

So our lives pretty much revolve around her now. It's hard to get motivated to do anything knowing that I really only have like a 2 hour window between finishing feedings and starting the next one.

The Grandmas - thanks for coming and taking night duty!
