One Month Old

My precious Caroline turned one month old on Monday.  I really can't believe it.  I want so badly to freeze this time in our lives.  Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get a full night sleep again and obviously I look forward to watching her (and her sister) growing up.  But knowing that she is my last newborn to wake up for middle of the night feedings, makes me treasure this time instead of merely survive it.
Here is what Caroline is up to at one month old:

• She is 21 inches long- 75th percentile.  She is half an inch shorter than Elizabeth was at one month, but E had only grown one inch since birth while Caroline has grown 1 1/2 inches since birth.  She might just catch up with her big sis!
• She weighs 8 pounds and 14 ounces- 50th percentile

• She eats every 2-3 hours during the day and often cluster feeds in the late afternoon.
• She'll sleep about 4 hours (give or take 30 minutes) at night before wanting to eat again.
• Because of her reflux, she grunts and moans a lot after feedings.
• She also sleeps best at night in her swing which we've moved to our bedroom.  We don't turn it on, but the more upright position really helps with her reflux.
• When we hold her she likes to be up on our shoulder with her feet pulled up underneath her.

• She really likes her tummy time for about 10 minutes.  She moves her head from side to side and pushes off the mat with her feet.  She'll be turning circles in no time!

• A few things that she is not a fan of: diaper changes, changing clothes, being naked, baths, pacifier (she's starting to take to it more)

Here is a comparison of my two angels at one month old.  Elizabeth on the left and Caroline on the right.  I still think they favor A LOT!  And they sure do love each other.  Elizabeth is border line obsessed with her baby sissy.  She loves to hug, kiss, and hold her.  Elizabeth doesn't like it at all if Caroline gets upset.  She's even tried to pick her up to console her.  Needless to say, we have to keep a close eye on her!

Overall, Caroline is such a sweet and content little girl.  We love her so much!!  Happy One Month Birthday Baby Girl!!!
