Audrey is One Month Old!

Audrey

I am sure this sounds cliche, but I can hardly believe you are one month old!  You are our new little sweetheart that we love SO much.  Here is what you've been up to this month:

  • You still wear mostly newborn size clothes and newborn diapers.  I can put some three month outfits on you, but most of them are still too big.
  • At your doctors appointment on your one month birthday, you weighed ten pounds, four ounces. 
  • Your eyes are still a dark blue.  We really want to know what color they will be!
  • You do NOT sleep through the night, which has been a little trying for us.  Your brother slept through the night starting at two weeks, so we are not used to this!  You were waking up every two hours, but now you usually wake up around 2-ish and then 5-ish.  We will get to the all night sleep schedule eventually!
  • You make a LOT of noise in your sleep.  You grunt a lot and have started doing a dry cough that has us a little worried.  We are hoping its a little cold and not an allergy.  We plan to take you to the doctor tomorrow to see what they say. 
  • You really enjoy your bath until your Daddy starts cleaning off your face and head.  Then you start the screaming!  Your umbilical cord fell off when you were two days shy of turning three weeks old, so we started giving you baths in the tub at that time.
  • You are just now starting to enjoy your bouncy seat and swing.  By enjoy I mean that you will tolerate them and fall asleep instead of screaming like a crazy baby.  This makes it easier for me to get a few things done here and there! 
  • Your brother still absolutely adores you.  Every morning he wants to give you a kiss and hold you.  He also likes to try to rock your cradle and carseat but we have told him not to because he's a little heavy-handed!

Overall, we are just SO happy to finally have you here, love you to pieces, and can't wait to watch you grow into a sweet little girl.  Love you!
