Star - 1 Month

Age: 1 month


Weight and height: I'm not sure because she doesn't have a doctor's appointment until next month, but I'm guessing she weighs between 8 and 9 pounds now.

Wearing size: Just moved from newborn to size 1 diapers although the size 1 diapers are still a bit big.  Wearing newborn and 0-3 month clothes.

Likes: Snuggling on mommy or daddy's chest to fall asleep, being swaddled, and is starting to like her pacifier a bit more.  Loves the infant swing (we have one like this and I swear by the side-to-side motion for soothing babies!).  Star also loves her big sister and almost always has smiles for her.  I know she loves her big brother too, but he's 2 years old and hasn't learned to give her personal space yet.  She also likes tummy time and staring at lights.

Dislikes: Having a dirty or wet diaper.  Being buckled into her carseat although she usually stops crying as soon as it's being moved.   

Eating habits: Star eats about 3 ounces of formula every 2-4 hours.  She's a good eater, but very messy which I think has something to do with her being tongue-tied. 

Sleeping habits: She's a good sleeper!  She usually takes one really long nap everyday and several shorter ones.  She's ready for bed by 9 pm, wakes up to eat at about 3:30 am, and then sleeps again until 6:30/7.  She usually needs to be rocked to sleep, but sometimes she prefers to be swaddled and laid down to fall asleep. 

Milestones: She smiled for the first time at less than a week old!  Since then, I've seen quite a few smiles from her.  She's getting very good at holding her head up and can push up with her legs to a standing position if someone is holding her upright on their lap.  Her umbilical cord fell off at 1 week old.

Star's baby acne is clearing up with the help of vaseline.  She has a "stork bite" on her forehead between her eyes and another at the crown of her head, although that one is covered pretty well by her hair.
 

I love that this outfit says "Little Star" on it since that's her blog nickname.
