This little lady is 1 month old. Incredible.
I forget just how much of a rollercoaster that 1st month is. Getting use to running on less sleep, learning what cry's mean what. figuring out favorite positions to be held in, bottles... just a million discoveries and several hundred learning curves.
She's been a pure joy to get to know and to love. Just a sweet little baby.
We've both been hit by a few bumps in the road. Charlotte has a pretty severe allergy to dairy and even Nutramigen isn't doing the trick. As of today she's on a hypoallergenic amino acid-based formula, Neocate. I was cutting dairy out of my diet but then got Mastitis and we're not sure if my milk supply can recover from it, Im still pumping... we'll see. If the Neocate doesn't resolve the problems Charlotte's having it may be a reflux issue and we'll be off to a GI. We'll know how this stuff works within the week, Im optimistic.
At 1 month:
-I love my baths. I have yet to cry while soaking in my fabulous tub.
- I hate to have a dirty diaper. I can not stress this enough
-Sitting on the swing on the porch is heavenly. I love being outside in the fresh air and the gliding of the swing
- I weigh 7 lbs. 9 oz. (as of this afternoon's Dr. appt.). Funny how at 5 weeks I am still a pound and a half smaller than my brother was when he was born!
- I am in a size newborn diaper
-The only binky that I will take are my gum drops
-I dont like getting put in my car seat but the minute we start driving I fall fast asleep
- I love to be held most but I'll settle for my swing too.. its a pretty cool place to be
- I love music
- When my Parents forget to give me my reflux medication I have been known to projectile vomit. But I have only done this 4 or 5 times. And its only ever been on my Dad. Other than the big soakers I never spit up, its either all or nothing.
- I like to be out and going. I love all the sounds and lights of the outside World
- My siblings adore me and always talk about how cute I am. I get a little nervous when my Brother talks about how he wants to eat me because I'm so cute.
- My hair is as unruly as my Sisters and sticks straight up! My Mom said my Sisters (now) have amazing hair so Im not too worried about it. Plus Fall's coming so I can hide it with cute hats, like my new one above, for a while.
- I am cute, and tiny and love to snuggle and to be held close and tight.

1 month? Really? She is beyond adorable. And can I just say you have the cutest hair accessories known to man for your children. I love each and every one of those pictures. No fun about the dairy and mastitis. That is no fun at all. But, glad other things are going well. She is just so teeny tiny still. I love it.
Adorable! James wont take a binky either... ugh!
