Mae @ 1 month

Mae has been such a dream baby so far. I worried about loving another baby as much as I did Cal but Dal and I seriously cannot get enough of her.

Mae at 1 month...

-Weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. at her last appointment, so she has gained about 2 pounds since birth

-Exclusively breastfeeding. She LOVES to nurse, but also takes a bottle and binkie fine

-Sleeps most of the time- except for at night :)

-She loves to be held, so we are struggling a little to get her to sleep in her bassinet. Since Dal is off work for the month, he has been taking her in to rock her and usually falls asleep in the rocker with her for a lot of the night

-She has yet to cry where we are unable to soothe her

-Seems to like her baby wrap. I never really did that with Cal but I am really loving it with Mae and use it a ton.

-Cal still loves her. Some days he is more interested than others, but he is never, ever mean to her.

-Her most awake hours are from about 9 pm to midnight. It is perfect because we are always awake at that time and usually aren't doing much so we can just stare at her.

-Dal always calls her "love"

-Officially grown out of premie clothes :(

-She got her first cold this month. Cal, who never gets sick, has gotten the stomach flu, a cold, and a really high fever at different times all within the first month of Mae being born. Although her cold was miserable to watch, I was really grateful that she didn't catch his fever or stomach flu. She is over it now. Woohoo!

We love this little babe.
