1 Month Old

Age: 1 month

Weight: 8.8 pounds  35% percentile

Height: 20.8 inches 33% percentile

Head Circumference: 36.25 cm  26% percentile

Clothing: Some newborn, but mostly 0-3 months even though she is swimming in most of them.

Sleeping: She still the majority of the day sleeping and taking cat naps. We are working to get her adjusted to day and night, but it is a struggle. Bed time is usually between 10:30-11:30, than she wakes up twice during the night usually around 2:30 and again at 5:00.

Eating Habits: She is eating every 2-3 hours, usually 2 1/2 to 3 ounces at a time. She is spitting more than normal, so yesterday I took her to the Dr. to discuss possible reflux issues. Austin had pretty severe reflux when he was a baby, and Callie has been exhibiting the same symptoms so I had a feeling she had it as well. Sure enough after chatting with the Dr. for a few, my suspicions were spot on, Lil Miss Callie has acid reflux and is now on Zantac twice a day. Hopefully the medicine starts working soon, she seems to be in so much pain when she eats.

Favorite Activity: Sleeping and watching her big brother Austin.

Milestones: A few days ago she started smiling without being asleep. She is also starting to lift her head more on her own. She is still very wobbly, but her neck muscles are getting stronger.

Updates: What a whirlwind of a month this has been. It is definitely hard going from one kid to two kids. I always prided myself on being 10-15 minutes early to everything, however now with 2 kids I find that we are always running at least 15-20 minutes late.
