1 Month

Our Sweet Layla Bug turned One Month Old on November 10!  She has her first cold which breaks my heart.  Luckily, her dad has it all under control.  He is a pro with the aspirator and saved the day with a pink humidifier!



One Month Fun Facts:
  • She weighs 5 pounds 6 ounces! (That was her weight 2 days before her one month.)  Of course, she isn't on the growth charts for weight or length.
  • She was 16 and 7/8 inches at her 2 week check-up and hasn't been measured since then.  Her "Aunt" Chrissy says she will just get to wear really tall heels one day! :)
  • She eats 7-8 times a day.  I am mostly nursing but she's had a few bottles of breast milk when I have needed a few extra hours of sleep.  She eats about 2 ounces!  
  • She wakes up about twice a night.  She eats between 11-12pm and 3-4am.  I am trying to read BabyWise but between thank you notes, weekly doctor's visits, and squeezing in naps, I haven't made it too far.  
  • She isn't a fussy baby at all but she makes grunting noises all the time.  Her doctor says not to worry unless the noises are waking her up or making her cry.
  • She is wearing Preemie diapers but we are going to switch to Newborn this week.  Newborn are a little big but we have lots of boxes of them so no sense in continuing to buy preemie.
  • She wears mostly white Gerber Newborn Onsies while we are home.  We have a few preemie outfits that she wears when we "dress up".  Newborn clothes are still too big on her.
  • Layla loves: sleeping on her dad's chest, Soothie pacifiers (they are as big as her face - hehe), bathtime, eating, riding in her carseat, and having her hands by her head.
  • Layla doesn't like: tummy time (but she is very good at it - already so strong!), having her nose suctioned, having her hands swaddled and getting dressed.
  • She is so funny when she is hungry!  She opens her mouth wide and attacks anything that gets near it.  I will have to post a video.
Layla got to meet her big sister Sugar when she got home from Jackson.  Sugar is very jealous of all the attention Layla gets and she pouts a lot.  I think she is used to being an only child. Sugar is sweet and gives Layla lots of kisses.



First day they met

Now they are BFF
