One Month

Kaelyn had her 1 month check up today. She grew 2 inches in length - she is now 22 1/2 inches long which puts her in the 90th percentile for length. Her head is still kinda small and is in the 10th percentile. She weighs 9.1 pounds which is in the 50th percentile. Overall she seems to be doing well!! She got her 2nd Hep B shot and did well with it. Next month she'll have 2 shots.

Kaelyn got to meet he Nana (my mother-in-law) this weekend. Nana found that Kaelyn loves to suck on your finger. We had attempted to give her a pacifier before, but she wasn't really that interested. The finger calms her down and often puts her to sleep.

She isn't anywhere near sleeping through the night. She is usually up every 2-3 hours. Sometimes she'll go 4 hours, but not often enough!! She eats about 9-10 times per day. We give her about half breast milk and half formula each day.

Kaelyn seems to enjoy her baths. We use a wash pod which is difficult to use right now since she can't hold her head up. It's almost impossible to give her a bath without the help of another person. The soap and water make her slippery so it becomes challenging to hold her up. :)

Things are getting easier for us. I still have 2 months of leave (I return to work the end of July). I'm looking forward to more warm days and getting out more often.
