1 month old

4 weeks, 32 days, 1 month old. She is growing up way too fast!

I think I am still on a high after having Malia. I just can’t stop holding, kissing, loving, snuggling and wanting to be with her 24/7.  I’m not sure when this high will wear off, but I don’t think it will be anytime soon.  Malia fits into our family so well – and she takes all of the kisses and smothering from her brother without one peep.  We can’t imagine what our lives would be like without her – she is just perfect.

STATS:

Weight: 10 lbs, 3oz. (75th percentile)
Height: 23 inches (99th percentile)
Head: 14.5inches (50th percentile)

Here are the latest and greatest about our little princess:

*Eating every 3 hours (this just started over the weekend – before it was every 2-2.5 hours)

*Eats like a CHAMP – I still tell her during every nursing session how proud I am of her.

*Introduced the bottle this week as I had my best friend’s bachelorette party to attend. Malia took the bottle so well – and even took the pumped milk right out of the fridge.

*She still isn’t sold on the binkie. She’ll take it for about 5 minutes and then spit it out.

*Malia would LOVE to be held all day. Seriously, she could be screaming her lungs out and once I pick her up and snuggle her – she is asleep in my arms almost instantly. So glad you can’t spoil a newborn.

*Just like her brother, she wanted NOTHING to do with being swaddled. I swear we have the only babies in the world that HATE being swaddled.

*Malia’s nicknames are: Honey Girl, Honey baby, Peanut and “Yee-Yah” (this is what Jackson calls her).

*Wearing 3 month onesies and newborn pants.

*In size 1 diapers.

*Cries before every poop.

*Isn’t a lady when it comes to her farts – they are EXPOLOSIVE and LOUD! She’d put some college frat boys to shame!

* Loves to be worn –yesssssssssssssss!

*Has been to more places in her first month than her brother went in a year.

*The first 3 weeks Jackson had to kiss Malia 100x a day. Now he’s down to maybe 3x a day. I loved it when he loved her…..hoping that will come back again soon :)

*Has just started sleeping in the co-sleeper. Breaks my heart as she would MUCH rather sleep with me….and only me. But alas, my husband must come back to bed :)

*When she cries (which is VERY rare) her forehead scrunches up and she gets one little red mark on her forehead.
