One Month Old

Sadie is one month old today!  June was a busy month of adjusting to having two children.  Overall, things are going well.  Sadie is doing a little better with the crying.  We have determined that she has some stomach and gas issues and once she gets her burps out, she is normally fine.  She is beginning to lay on her play mat for about 10 minutes at a time without crying, which is a big improvement.  It is amazing how much you can accomplish in 10 minutes if you know that is all the time you have! We went to her one month check up yesterday and she is a growing girl!

Weight: 9 pounds 1 ounce

Length: 20 1/2 inches

Sadie pretty much does what normal one month olds do.  Mommy's favorite thing that she does is she is beginning to sleep for longer stretches of time at night.  The past 3 nights we have gotten between 5-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep so that has been a nice treat.  She has pretty good head control and has even rolled herself over once.  I'm not going to say that she can roll over yet because she has only done it once- and I think it was an accident!  We see a smile every now and then but it is not directed at anyone in particular.
We learned that she hated to be swaddled and was always trying (most of the time successfully) to get her arms out of the swaddle.  We decided to try not swaddling her to see if she would sleep well and she was just fine- actually happier not to have her arms restricted- so we decided not to swaddle her anymore. 

Here are some pictures with Pooh Bear.

 

She really didn't like Pooh at first.

Then she decided that he must not be too bad but she was still cautious.

 

Now she is sleepy!

 

Goodnight!

One Month Old!

Hannah is One Month Old!

Hannah had a busy first month. She met all of her grandparents and even one set of great grandparents. We've been shopping, out to dinner, to Baltimore's Inner Harbor, to the Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian), and to the Cherry Blossom Festival this month. She is quite spoiled already! She is changing so much. Yesterday while I was singing to her, she gave me the biggest smile. It was probably her laughing at me because I am a terrible singer! Hannah is also starting to grab on to things. While I was changing her diaper yesterday she was kicking and screaming and she mangaged to grab the pack of baby wipes and pull them onto her head. That just made her kick and scream even more! We are still working on sleeping through the night, but the doctor said it could take her a while since she is so little. Last night she was only up once. She slept from 10:30 until 4:00!! Mom was very excited...and dad didn't even notice! :)

One Month Stats:
Weight: 7 pounds (10th percentile)
Height: 19 3/4 inches (25th percentile)

Sliding down!

Believe it or not, she is not crying, just yawning.

I'm so little compared to Pooh!
