One Month & Check Up

It's Kaitlyn's one month birth day! I can't believe it!

Today was our first trip to the doctors for more then just a weight check. It was Kaitlyn's one month Check Up. Kaitlyn is now 9lbs and 2 oz. 20 3/4 inches. She is in the 50th percentile for both and right on track. The doctor said that she is doing very well and to keep doing what we are doing. She laughed because Kaitlyn is so squirmy and active, she was amused that she already rolls onto one side and thinks she will start rolling over early and told me to watch her!! The worst part was the last part...the shot. She started screaming, poor baby! She calmed down pretty quick and I packed her up in the car seat and she was asleep by the time we got to the car. She slept from about 10:30 - 12, when I woke her up to get her out of the car seat. She fell asleep with her Poppop at about 1pm and it's now 4pm and she is STILL sleeping. Hopefully she will sleep tonight, though they told me it's normal for babies to sleep all day after getting shots.

First Smile?

Today I think that we saw Kaitlyn's first real smiles. Shaun was tickling her and she was giving him these huge goofy grins. It was VERY cute!

About Baby Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn is almost 3 weeks old. She is a very good baby, loves her bottles and sleeping. She is a very good sleeper! We are still working on a schedule because sometimes she will sleep 5 hours or so and other nights she will only sleep for 2 or 3 hours at a time. She goes though diapers like wildfire!

She is starting to grab on to things like blankets, shirts and necklaces. She LOVES the ceiling fan who we named Frankie. She can recognize our voices and turns toward us when we talk to her. Her favorite thing to do is cuddle on the couch.

The dogs are adjusting very well, they are very curious and will run to her when she cries. They love to lick her little feet.

I feel great, still have a little pain and my scar ITCHES but other then that things are great.

Belly Button

Kaitlyn's Cord Stump fell off today! Thank goodness! It's amazing how much that little thing grossed me out, thankfully it didn't bother Shaun!
