Observations
-You have a nice head of dark hair that seems to get a lot of attention since your sister was bald for 2 years (This is probably my favorite feature about you =) )
-Short legs and long feet
-You have similar characteristics as Savannah, but you are also uniquely your own
-Calm temperament and fairly easy to manage
-Like to sit in your car seat! You have slept in your car seat by Mommy and Daddy's bed for most of this month
-You and I both prefer for you to have pumped bottles throughout the night. You get fed and we usually all get to go back to sleep
-Burps pretty easily and lots of gas
-You prefer to be held
-You started staying awake more around the 3rd week and even more by the 4th week
-You started getting baby acne bumps around the 4th week
-You don't really care much for the pacifier
-You will sometimes put thumb or fingers in your mouth, usually when you are getting hungry
-You like Daddy's thumb in your mouth
-At the end of the 1st month you are finally started to fill out your newborn size clothes
-Your cord stump didn't fall off until the end of the 1st month (4/8) Your belly button still sticks out
--Savannah loves trying to help you and brings you toys whether you need them or not
--I think you may be hitting a growth spurt at the end of the month, because you have started acting more fussy this week and eating seems to calm you.
Here is a layout I made this week for the current Noel Mignon ad challenge using the birth announcement that I made for Sarah Beth.
Here are a few favorite pictures taken today in her room.
This is chair I plan to use to take a picture of her in each month to document growth. I can tell a growth difference since week 1!
Doesn't she look like such a big girl
This is my favorite =)
