One Month!

I don't know if it is a sign of things to come, but I am a couple weeks late with Kate's 1 month post.  These pictures were even taken at 5 weeks, not one month and she hadn't even had a bath, but hey, it's better than nothing.  We were actually out of town for my brother's wedding for her actual one month day, so I have a little bit of an excuse.

At one month, Kate is about 10 lbs and over 22 inches long and is wearing 3 month clothes.  She has a long torso and fits into some 6month sleepers and pants.  She still has dark brown hair but it has some lighter streaks in it.  Her eyes are still grey but sometimes look a little blue and are a lot lighter than when she was born.  Her eyebrows finally grew in and she has some pretty long eyelashes.  She is a content and happy baby, and continues to smile a lot!  She definitely has a temper though, and gets very impatient when hungry!  She loves to be rocked and jiggled, does not like tummy time and loves to look at any framed picture on the wall.  She is breastfeeding really well, and eats about 8 times a day.  She eats every 3 hours, but has started to stretch that into 4-5 hours at night, and wakes up on average at 10pm, 2am and 6am.  We can't believe how much she has changed in just one month, and are so excited to watch her grow.




Hey Em, this is my photo shoot!

First Couple of weeks

The first few weeks home with Kate FLEW by.  I can't believe she's already over a month old.  Of course we took way too many pictures to share, but here's a few of her first couple of weeks.

We had a lot of visitors; my parents, Kevin's parents, my sister, Kevin's sister and lots of ortho family friends.  Kate spent her first few weeks meeting and visiting lots of people ...







Snuggling with mommy and studying with daddy ...




Playing with the dogs...








Taking lots of walks

Crying ..

Trying out tummy time .. (which she does not like!)
