1 month old

Our little baby is already a month old! Crazy. Time has flown by. It is slowing down a little though and it's nice. Those first 3 weeks were a little rough for me. The hormones, lack of sleep, change in lifestyle, my love/hate relationship with nursing and not knowing exactly what Kate needed when she needed it made for one roller coaster of a month! This past week has been the best so far and it gets better everyday. Baby Kate is the light of our lives. We are your typical first time parents that think all of her faces and noises, no matter how similar, are the best and most entertaining thing to ever happen.

At 1 month she:
- Is officially out of newborn diapers
- Grown out of many of her newborn clothes but doesn't quite fit into 0-3 months yet
- Loves to be curled up on my chest
- Has fluffy bird hair after her baths and it is so cute
- Is becoming such a good baby. She only gets fussy if she is hungry, wet or tired. She hates dirty diapers but being tired is definitely the worst of the 3.
- Smiled yesterday and this morning so I am starting to think it may not be gas! Probably is though. haha. She studies my face so hard as I talk to her and I know she will be smiling soon!
- Always has her right hand up on her cheek when she is all cuddled up
- Still has tons of hair. It's getting lighter though and she is getting a slight bald spot on the back of her head
- Doesn't mind tummy time one bit. In fact she frequently falls asleep during it.
- Loooooves soft blankets
- Hates being swaddled. Until she understands that she controls her arms though it is a must
- Is doing pretty good on a 3 hour schedule and is doing great at night now. Typically she wakes up 2-3 times a night to nurse but falls right back asleep. It's awesome!
- Loves baths as long as the water is really warm

What a difference 1 month makes!
