One Month Old

Bree at 1 Month Old

*She likes to look out the window--a LOT!
*She likes to stick out her tongue, like a lizard
*She is getting pretty good head control and can hold her head steady for several seconds at a time
*She eats, every 2 to 3 hours (sometimes more frequently during the day).
*Her tummy seems to get upset in response to milk or chocolate.  I'm trying to figure it out.
*She doesn't have a schedule yet.
*She is a pretty calm baby.  I read that normal babies can cry up to 2 1/2 hours a day.  In my opinion, Bree cries much less than that.
*She weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce at her one-month well check and was 20 1/4 inches long.
*She has the rash that causes cradle cap all over her face--poor baby.
*She started smiling in the last week before her one-month day.
*She sleeps--a LOT--and likes to be held for most of it.  However, at night she's pretty good about sleeping in her bed for most of it.
*When she starts fussing for a nap, I just have to wrap her up in a swaddle blanket and then carry her around/bounce her a bit and she'll fall asleep on my shoulder.  It's amazing how that swaddle blanket calms her right down.
*She has us all wrapped around her teeny tiny finger--and we LOVE it!


She had a bit of a rough day on her one-month day, so I took these pictures that night before bed time.  It was the best we could do that day!
