Katelyn is One Month Old!

~March 16th~

I know this post is SUPER late!  But, better late than never!

Well, what can I say......this is our little princess and we are in love with our little "sweet pea"! These first four weeks have been wonderful!  She is such a good little baby, we barely know she is here.  She just eats, sleeps, and goes to the bathroom.  She only cries when she is being changed, bathed, or she is hungry.  And she goes from calm as can be to outraged in a matter of 2 seconds flat....ha!  When she is not happy she lets us all know immediately.

She is eating every 3 hours pretty much on the dot.  We have had to take her in for weight checks these first few weeks, but she seems to be gaining well.  She is nursing great, which is wonderful since Davis was such a chore to nurse.

These first few weeks she barely would open her eyes I guess since she was two weeks early.  She is definitely a snuggler and loves to be held and cuddled.  She is now sleeping in her own bed and doing pretty well with sleep.  We lay her down to bed after her last feeding and she puts her self to sleep which is so nice.

She goes to sleep between 9:30 and 10:30 and wakes up again between 2:00 and 4:00 and then she is up again between 6:00 and 7:00.  We can't really ask for anything better than that!  Although, when I looked back at my notes I saw that Davis was starting to sleep ALL the way through the night at this point!!

Here are her ONE MONTH STATS......she is still a little peanut!

Weight:  8.0

Height:  21 inches

Head:  14.15 inches

Just in comparison...Here are Davis' one month stats....this is pretty funny!!

Weight:  10.7

Height:  24 inches

Davis is still loving his little sister more than anything in the world!  He is just so sweet to her.  Every night he has to hug and kiss her about two times before he goes to bed....it is so cute.  I hope this love continues over the years (wishful thinking I know)!!

She still has TONS of hair!  She has not started losing it yet.  Her eyes are also getting more blue each day....could we possible have a dark hair blue eyed girl...we shall see.

I really think that Katelyn and Davis look so much alike as I look back at his baby pictures.  It will be interesting to see how she changes of this next year.  It always amazes me how much they change the first year of life.  She is beginning to hold her head up a little more, but she still needs a lot of support.  She does not enjoy tummy time, but we still try to get it in daily. 

And she has now officially had ENOUGH of her photo shoot! 

We are so thankful for our little "sweet pea"!

We love you Katelyn!
