- 8 lbs. 8 oz. (38th percentile)
- 21 3/4 inches long (87th percentile)
- head circumference is in the 63rd percentile (these stats were all from her doctor's appointment last week so not exactly month stats)
- She is much more alert! She doesn't sleep for very long periods of time during the day, and the past few days she has wanted to be held all the time. She likes taking naps during the day on Mama or Daddy. At night she has started to sleep a little longer- she'll sometimes have a 4 1/2 to 5 hour stretch of sleep, but most of the time it's still about every three hours that she wants to eat at night.
- She loves to bounce. (I bought an exercise ball about a month before Quinn was born to help with laboring at home, but it has been most useful now!) If she's not hungry, she'll usually be pacified by being held & bounced on the exercise ball. Mama & Daddy's backs and arms are getting a work out!
- She makes funny faces, especially when she's sleeping. We love watching her gassy smiles. ;) When she's awake she often furrows her eyebrows and looks a lot like her daddy.
- Since she was breech, our pediatrician found out the day after she was born that she has hip dysplasia, which means the ball and socket of her hips are not deep set. She was fitted for a harness when she was about a week old, and she hasn't seemed to mind it at all. (It was harder on Mama than it was on her.) She has three more weeks full time in the harness before she'll go to wearing it just during naps and night.
We can't believe how much she's changing! We love you, Sweet Cheeks!!
"Hmm...am I really one month old already?"
And....this is real life. She was just done with Mama taking pictures. :)
