Blaire Marcey Brown - you are now closer to two months than one. I'm going to try and stay up to date on these monthly posts. In the time that you've been home we've done all the standard newborn stuff: rotated between Momma, Dad, Beau, and Blake's arms, had newborn pictures, sent announcements, and celebrated your first Thanksgiving. You slept through most of it.
You are a great sleeper and have been since your first night home. Your cheeks are growing the fastest just like Blake's did. At your two week check up you were 7 pounds 1 ounce and still 19.5 inches long. I think they really stretched you out in the hospital because at your two day check you only measured 19 and I don't think you got shorter.
Breastfeeding has been a breeze and that is new to mom too. You put yourself on a pretty decent schedule from the time we got home. I was worried you weren't eating enough but the doctor said as long as you were waking around every four hours that you were fine.
In your first month things that you love include being warm and swaddled. Beau and Blake didn't like to be swaddled so that has been another new thing. You don't like your bath (probably because it is cold after.) You also get the hiccups all the time and aren't a fan of that. My most favorite thing of the month was a big real smile and you haven't stopped smiling since. I got it on video and it is just the best.
Beau and Blake both just love you and have transitioned really well. Beau is a pro and Blake just loves that she has little sister now.
You are super strong and very alert. You have very good head control and have been listening to everything we say to you since we left the hospital.
You are the sweetest most relaxed baby and we love you so much.
