One Month...

Well, if you would have asked me 3 weeks ago if I thought we would ever get to the Big One Month mark, I would have said, "No."  We celebrated the milestone last Thursday.  I am going to attempt to take a picture of her every month for the first year.  This is something I slacked on with the other two.  Actually, I didn't do it at all.

 

We are slowly adjusting and I feel like we are finally getting into a groove....until she decides to throw us for a loop and adjust her schedule to her liking again.  She is a pretty good sleeper at night...knock on wood...and usually only wakes up once or twice.  While talking to B and Mel's gymnastics instructor yesterday, I consider ourselves lucky.  Her son is a week and a half younger than Jo and is up every hour!  Sheesh!!

 

She had her one month check up last week and she weighs 81bs. 4 oz. and is 20 7/8 inches long.  She is growing fast.  Everything looked good, but the pediatrician thinks she may have a bit of colic once we explained to her that she gets fussy at night and has several dirty diapers.  She prescribed probiotic drops that we have to give her once a day.  They basically work the same as yogurt.  Probiotics are the good stuff that helps regulate the digestive system.  They work so much better than the gas drops.  I'm sure a lot of people wish they had the probiotic drops when their kids were little.

 

 

She is starting to smile a lot and talk a lot.  I think she knows that to be heard in this house, you have to start talking at an early age.  Here she is smiling...

I took her newborn photos when she was two weeks old.  Some of my faves are below...
