Polly is ONE month old (already!)

My last baby is growing so fast! This month flew by.  Thankfully, she started out small so she will stay small longer.  I want time to slow down!  Knowing she is my last newborn and how fast things change I am trying to enjoy every second and slow down the milestones. She is definitely growing though!

Stats:
Length: 21 3/4 inches (75th percentile)
Weight: 8# 6 ounces (50th percentile)- she has gained over 2 pounds since we left the hospital at 6.1
Sleep: she sleeps a lot still!  We are starting to transition into 3 naps in her crib.  10-1, 2-5, 6-7, but she will doze of fin between some too. She usually goes down for the night between 8 and 9 and is up for the day between 7 and 8. We are getting the feed, wake, sleep routine in order during the day.
Eating: breastfed every 2.5-3 hours during the day and every 3-5 hours during the night. I just started letting her go more than 3 hours during the night.  I wake her at 5 hours if she doesn't wake me first, this has only happened twice.  We are regulating that metabolism in preparation for dropping a night feeding soon!  Yippee!  Thank you, BabyWise!
Skills: Polly can hold her head up and switch sides when playing on her belly. She is starting to track her mobile and people.  She has given us a couple little grins, but I think they are gas related.  She hardly ever cries.  She grunts a lot! So far she is a super easy baby.
Hair: male pattern baldness setting in.
Eyes: still blue!
Size: still in newborn diapers and clothes (yay!), but not for long.
Nicknames: PJ, Pollywog, Baby Polly
We spent the morning in the rocking chair after a rough night.
(so far we have only had one!)
She is becoming more alert!
She has a two hour chunk of time in the morning and the afternoon.
Love this yawn!

Nap time
Hanging out with Pa!
Look at her holding her head up!
She has lots to say to Pa!


Emma is in love!

Watching her mobile.


Little White Tongue
She got thrush on her tongue from all of the antibiotics
she got through breast milk.  We got a medication and it's now almost gone.

ONE MONTH PHOTO SHOOT!





















We love this sweet baby so much!
