One Month!

Yesterday Lauren turned one month old! In some ways it's flown by, and in some ways it's taken forever! At her checkup today she weighed 5lb 12 oz and was 20 inches long.
She's a pretty happy baby, except when she's getting her diaper changed. She's getting really good at holding her head up and looking around and making eye contact. She doesn't have a favorite toy yet, just likes looking at everything. She smiles and giggles in her sleep, I can't wait for that first real smile! Preemie onesies no longer fit and she's fitting in to more and more newborn sizes! Most night she sleeps fairly well and lets Mommy get almost two hours of sleep at a time! It takes her an hour to nurse, and is up every 3-4 hours, so it's hard to get in much sleep between feedings. We're getting ready to introduce a bottle so Daddy can feed her a time or two at night and let Mommy get some extra sleep!

Oh I love those legs! Imagine your baby's length with double the weight (well, almost) and you have Bryan born at 10.1 lbs and 20 inches long. So fun. People may tell you to cherish these times, but it's ok not to cherish the sleep deprivation and I can guarantee there are more fun times ahead!

What a cutie! And those legs!!! I loved that Noah had bottles because us moms need some sleep every once in awhile...you get Chris helping out with that and your whole world will change!
