Blakely 1 Month

1 month old already (tear) I am much more prepared for this blog post.  I made a point to pay attention to what Blakely was doing :) 

Sleep- she is sleeping 4-6 hours at night. Usually 11pm/12am-4am/5am.  During the day, she sleep 2-3 hours at a time.  She sleeps on her belly and back, belly at night in a sleeper sack.  She doesn't mind the loudness of the house.  She takes her naps downstairs in the trenches  amongst the boys.

Eat- she nurses every 3-4 hours, with the occasional 2 hour snack. 


Play- she is much more aware now, with wakeful periods throughout the day.  She has big dark blue eyes.  Her head control is okay (compared to the boys, who had excellent head control)
She lifts her head on her belly at about 45 degree angle.  she can focus really well and has good eye contact.

Loves- she loves her elephant pacifier, especially when she is gassy (which is often) she likes to cuddle with daddy and loves to eat.  We dress up everyday and now we have enough clothes!  She loves to have her hair tickled and com  combed.

Dislikes-  she doesn't like baths and it must be blazing hot in her room's afterwards. She has a 0-60  wail of a cry.  Every time she cries her neck sweats and tears stream.  She dislikes diaper changes, we just got rid of a really bad diaper rash.  She doesn't like chocolate, it makes her really fussy and turns her stools a funky br own color.  She doesn't like to be swaddled, or at least she doesn't like her arms swaddled.

Personality-  She has her fussy moments but is easy to soothe with her elephant pacifier.  I swear she smiled back at me yesterday!

Growth-  Blakely is finishing off her last pack on newborn diapers…the tabs are in front only fasten at the hip…she needs to be in size 1.  She has broken out a bit on her face and neck…but so did Riley and Tate at about 3 weeks…it will pass here in the next week.  She is in some newborn clothes, mainly just rompers, the newborn pjs don't fit in the length and onesies are way too tight.  She does fit in 0-3 and some 3 month.

Here is a few pictures, my sony battery was dead, so we HAD to do a studio session with the canon.  I wanted to show more of her personality, so these aren't exactly "professional" photos…
