One month!

I keep asking myself, Where has the time gone? The past 4 weeks, well really year have flown by. I cant believe you are a month old.

You continue to change every day. The biggest accomplishment you have made is sleeping in your crib! Mom is extremely proud of you and thankful! We all sleep better and naps are better and more productive for mom when I am not napping and holding you too :) but I of course still get plenty of snuggle time with you!

 

 

The latest:

• You looooove Being held...unless you are doing tummy time, wiggle time, in the bouncer {all three for like 15 minutes at a time max}, or sleeping. Thank heavens you like the baby carrier or nothing would get done :) You don't like too much wiggle time or to just lay there but you are still just a newbie so it's ok :) 
• You eat really well! We have started doing bottles during the day hoping it will help with your gas and fussy hour (pretty sure it is) which makes it a little difficult to pump when you're constantly in my arms but were making it work.
• You hate your car seat at first but then you do great if we are moving. You do not like to just sit still. I say this now and watch it backfire on me as we are heading back towards Manhattan tomorrow.
• As I said earlier, you are sleeping in your crib, yahoo! Now that you are sleeping in your crib, you can start sleeping longer in the night mom wont mind:) You have gone for 4 hour stretches at the most, it's normally 2-3 still though. Again, you love to eat!
• You make just the sweetest faces from smiles to your puppy dog face. We love them all
• You make the silliest noises too, mostly the grunts, especially in your sleep, you are very vocal.
• You're out of newborn clothes and diapers (a few too many blow outs)
• You take your binki when you need to keep sucking or to calm you down. 
• You know your mom and dads voices and turn when you hear them. You like to stare at us too but we like to stare back.
• You are grasping things, mostly fingers and shirts but you will hold toys when mom helps.
• You're still strong as heck! You hold your neck up for a long time. You can even push up on your arms and hold yourself for a little, and you like to try to stand up.
• You are not a fan of baths but love sitting near the space heater when we get you dressed and lotioned up after.
• You also 8/10 times HATE your diaper change, not too sure why but you do and nothing really calms you down either.  Good thing I am pretty turbo at it! I hope this gets better!
 

I'm sure I've forgotten some things but that sums it about up. We love you very much and can't wait to see how you change and grow over the next month. Mom is not looking forward to going back to work and you going to the sitter however!

 

(This picture took a few times until she was finally happy. Did I mention she doesnt really like to just lay on the floor. They say you can't spoil a baby until 6 months but she is definitely spoiled!)

Happy one month! Love you baby Daylynn!
