One Month Old

Emalina turned one month old last week. Oh how time flies! She is absolutely the sweetest little girl around. She has such a wonderful demeanor... calm, patient, goes with the flow, likes to eat and LOVES to sleep, and snuggle! Since she was gaining weight so nicely at her 2 weeks apt, I decided that getting her up every 2-3 hours at night was silly and that got tossed out the window. Since then, she only gets up once a night to eat, usually sleeping 6 hours in a row and then I feed her and she goes right back to sleep until the morning. LOVE IT! 
Forgot to post these...
Emalina at 1 week

Emalina at 1 month



Compared to Isabella at 1 month!
Here are some things that our little girl is doing:
  • Emalina is a very strong girl, she can hold her head up
  • When lying on the floor she can turn her head from side to side
  • If I hold her up off the floor, she will push herself up into a standing position... She definitely has some good SMITH legs! 
  • She loves her susu
  • She like to be swaddled
  • She has started smiling 
  • She can follow you with her eyes (and occasionally goes a little cross-eyed)
  • She fits into 0-3 month clothing
  • She is in size 1 diapers
  • She still poops every diaper change (probably goes through at least 10 diapers a day)
  • She needs to be burped after every feeding... if we forget or can't get one out... she throws up. 
  • The only time she really cries is if she is really hungry or if she has a stuck burp
  • She still loves her bouncy chair and pretty much hangs out there all day
  • Is sleeping 6 hours at night 
  • She has BLUE eyes... and I think they just might stay blue
  • She did not lose her hair... at one month Bella had lost a bunch of hair
  • She has the cutest sad faces EVER!
  • She still sleeps in the bassinet right by our bed... because she does lose her susu when falling asleep and it is convenient to just reach over and put it back in.
  • Her favorite position is laying on your chest
