Lindsay 1 Month

Wow I can't believe a month has flown by that we have had our little girl here with us! Its been a crazy, busy month but we are getting into a routine now and life seems to be settling in as a family of 4! Lindsay has filled out and grown a lot over the last month. She goes to the doc Monday so I am anxious to know her weight/length then! At her 2 week visit she was 7 lbs 6 oz so I would guess that she is atleast 8 lbs by now. She is fitting in size 1 diapers now. She is also starting to be able to wear her 0-3 month clothing. She still fits in newborn too though. I have tried 3 month stuff on her and its entirely too big! By this time Colby was definitly wearing some 3 month stuff I think.
She's in a pretty good routine. She eats about every 3 hours during the day. She is eating 4-5 oz at each feeding. She goes through MANY diapers in a day! Kinda ready for that part to slow down haha. At night she is starting to only wake up once although she will still revert back to every 3 hours occassionally. We put her down around 9 and she usually sleeps until about 2 am. She eats then goes back to sleep until about 7. She takes several small naps during the day but is starting to stay awake for almost 3 hours at a time atleast once a day. While she is awake now you can really tell she is watching things and starting to recognize people. She takes one long nap in her bed in the afternoon. This coincides with Colby's naptime so that I can rest. It will be different on Colby's school days b/c her schedule gets shifted some but I guess second children have to learn to live with that!
We are definitely enjoying having her here with us! Life as a family of 4 is crazy busy though! We never realized how easy 1 child was until we brought her home! But she's a sweetie and its been fun this month watching her grow and change.
