Lucy is 1 month

WOW... 1 month already! Everyday has been a learning experience and worth every moment! 

Weight

At her 5 week appointment, she gained 2lbs and grew 2". Not to shabby! This puts her at 10lbs 4oz and 21". 

Health
She's doing pretty well in the health department! The only issue is we might have some sort of food allergy. What I thought was baby acne was not. Our ped recommended we omit dairy, nuts, wheat and eggs for a few weeks. This should be interesting! 

Sleep

Sleep is record breaking! We started sleeping through the night around 3.5-4 weeks. 

Sleeps 12-7:30am.. Sometimes I'll dream feed around 5am.. But honestly, if she's not hungry.. She won't eat. After 7:30, I'll nurse her and she'll sleep until 9:30/10 am.. Which gives me time to give Landon quality time. 

We take sleep very seriously... And we love it!!

Oh the best thing is- I trained them to nap at the same time.. Which means I get a much needed nap during the day! 

Clothes

Some newborn.. 0-3 is perfect and some 3-6. 

Diapers size 1. We are having diaper leaking issues.. We've been through 5 brands and we cannot control the leaks!!! 

Pampers.. Huggies.. Kirkland, baby ganics all leaked.. 1 out of 3 diapers leaked!! Ughh we are now using seventh generation.. Wish us luck!! 

Diet

Breastmilk.. About 3.5-4oz per session! 

Development

Not much in the development department.. She tracks really well. She has tummy time for 10 minutes every hour that she's awake... 

Crying
Here & there. It all depends on the day. She loves to be held... LOVES to be held and will give a pitiful cry if she doesn't get what she wants... 

Milestones

Sleeping through the night 

Finally takes a pacifier at 4 weeks and we were so relieved!

Tracks objects

Sibling Love

The transition has been smooth sailing!! Landon is in LOVE with his baby sister and we are quite pleased with their relationship! 

Postpartum

 Not sure how much weight I've lost but I feel good! 

Sleeping well, eating well and keeping busy!

Landon's 1st Month...

I'm going to switch up my blog a little bit!

I'll try to update monthly along with special holidays... so this blog post will be long, I'll catch up!

So Lets start with the day he was born. Born early but perfect! I must admit he's a pretty handsome guy! Most will say He is a splitting image of me while others will say he looks like my husband!!

Landon on the night he was born!

Landon @ 24 hours!

He Makes the sweetest facial expressions and I am constantly staring at his beautiful face. He loves to smile and giggle in his sleep, I often catch him talking to himself when he's awake. His little noises, gurgles, farts, everything makes me smile! I might be a little obsessed with him.. just a little.. ok, a lot!

He fit perfectly into in newborn clothes for 2 weeks. At week 3, they fit VERY snug... I can still get him in & out of the onesies but I worry about dislocating his arms. At week 3, he was in between sizes Newborn-0-3. Carter's 0-3 were a no go, they were basically Newborn sizes (shrinks 1/2" all around!!!), so For a week, you looked almost homeless in your big boy clothes. Now at week 4, you're fitting in it so nicely!

His First Doctors appointment went by quickly! His birth weight went down to 6lbs 9oz. His length grew 1/2" and he was taken off of formula and officially 100% on breast milk. Dr. Mike is his Pediatrician! He's super nice and hands on with him! We love that he is very supportive of our concerns when it comes to Landon and he's open to sit down and talk about our concerns.

We Celebrated our 1st father's day after Landon's arrival. My husband is IN LOVE with his new best friend. He's a super expert at changing diapers now, he loves everything about his lil man and he's been super hands on about being a dad. He is an amazing father and he's the best husband. We are a very blessed family!

well... that was a month in a nutshell! I promise to keep up now that we're all settled!
