One Month Old

Caroline Jean- One Month Old

We are SO in love with our little girl!  She quickly worked her way into all of our hearts and we can't imagine life without her!  The past month has gone so fast- it's been a crazy month trying to figure out the logistics of three kids, remembering how much attention a newborn needs, and trying to fit in all of the snuggles that we want.  Tommy and Henry love their little sister and are constantly checking on her.  She is a good baby and we love her to pieces!
Sweet Caroline
What is Caroline up to at 1 month?

- She eats every 2 1/2-3 hours during the day and does one longer stretch at night.  Usually it is 6-7 hours, but it's been as long as 8!
- She goes to bed around 10:30 and wakes up around 7:30- getting up once to eat
-She wears size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.  The newborn size still fits, but is getting a little tight
-She loves to be held and rocked
-To sleep at night she needs her swaddle blanket to keep her arms from flying up and waking her up.
-She loves to look at the lights and toys on her activity gym and her bouncy seat.
-She HATES her baths and screams the entire time.
-She is a noisy sleeper- she wimpers and moans while sleeping and in order to fall asleep.  When she gets worked up over something her cry has lots of "snorts" in it- her brothers find it pretty funny!
