So Cecelia Grace Robson is ALREADY 1 month old. She is doing fabulous and is such a good baby. I have loved having a month to get to know her and spend so much time with her.
- She has gained TONS of weight since she came home. for a breastfed baby to be gaining this much weight is unusual but definitely a good sign. She eats great!
- She is in 0-3 month clothes!
- She is awake a lot more these days. a couple hours every morning and afternoon and before bed!
- She is sleeping in her own crib in her own room!
- She wakes up once every night. Originally it was at 1am, but lately she has been sleeping for 6 hour stretched instead of 4 (yay) and it has been between 2 and 4am everyday. which is awesome!
- She follows things with her eyes and head VERY well.
- She responds to my voice, touch, smell and sight as well as Kel's. I am pretty sure she is also familiar with my mom's voice and smell as she reacts to her similarly as she reacts to me.
- She can pus herself up with ehr legs and feet when she is on her stomach.
- She holds her head up both when being held and during tummy time.
- She LOVES to be held and is super cuddly
- BUT she also entertains herself very well when put down on the floor.
- She does great with all her older cousins poking and holding her!
- Her favorite thing to look at is a mirror. it immediately calms her down when she is upset.
- She doesn't cry unless there is a reason
- The doctor said it's unusual to have a first baby this calm and sleep trained and behaved, but to consider ourselves very lucky!
Obviously we love her. life with her is great and we couldn't imagine anything different. I am excited to go back to work but really wish i didn't have to leave her (most days anyway). She grows everyday and if people go a week without seeing her she is completely different when they do see her. She lets us dress her up and put on frills, etc with no complaints! I love her and am ready to see how she grows but also wishing she could stay put for awhile and she is growing way to fast (cliche but true). She was more than worth 9 month of a difficult pregnancy and all the sickness!
This outfit is a shout out to Aunt Beth (can't wait for you to meet her) and Aunt Karen who have birthdays this week!
