Today I took Maclain for her 1 month checkup. She did not have to get shots so that was a relief! She now weighs 8 pounds, 9 ounces and is 21 inches long. She has gained over 3 pounds since she left the hospital so I would say she is a great eater! Here are some things about our little Maclain at 1 month old:
-Is a pretty happy baby and really loves to be held and cuddled
-Still eating about every 3 hours during the day
-Goes to bed around 10:00 each night and is waking up to eat around 1:30 and 4:30
-Travels very well... our road trip to Nashville during Christmas went great!
-Is finishing up our last pack of newborn diapers and moving into a size 1
-Still in newborn clothes, but I think she will be getting into 0-3 months in the next few days
-Has been sleeping in her crib at night since just over 1 week old and is getting better and better at going to sleep on her own without always being rocked, etc...
-Loves her paci during the day but does not really use it at night much
-Smiling more and more these days and definitely recognizes my face. I love this!
-Beginning to coo and interact a little more
-Still sleeps a lot during the day... mostly in her swing or in her carseat during/after errands
We have survived the first month and I have to say it's been easier this time than it was the first. We love our little girl so much and can't wait to see her grow even more!
