1 Month Old

Our little Emree is already a month old and I cannot believe it! It is scary how fast time goes by and makes me sad because I know she is not going to be this small much longer. It is funny how life just moves right along. I don't feel like I was just pregnant, I don't feel like I just had a baby and it is already weird to think about what things were like with only two kids. She has only been here for four weeks and yet I cannot imagine not having her here. I posted a week or so ago about how I thought she was going to be our "chunky monkey"...so I wanted to write down her weight gain to prove it....

July 31st she weighed 5 pounds 5 ounces.
August 4th she was back to her birth weight-5 pounds 11 ounces.
August 12th, her two week check up, she weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces.
August 17th she weighed 6 pounds 10 ounces.
August 27th she weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces.
In a month she has gained almost 2 pounds!

I also wanted to jot down a few things about her:

*She is very strong and loves to hold her head up to look around. She has never had the typical wobbly newborn head.
*She is starting to recognize our voices and gets really excited when she hears her daddy come home from work.
*She makes the cutest squeaking noises when she needs to burp.
*She scrunches her nose up when she smiles.
*She loves to cuddle.
*She gives me a big smile first thing in the morning.
*Only cries when she is poopy or hungry.
*Hates her bassinet.
*She is sleeping 4-5 hours at night.
*She is a noisy eater but it is so cute.

Starting to smile...scrunching up the nose. :)

There is a good smile. She really isn't as "big" as this picture makes her look.
