One month

I can't believe you are one month old already. It seriously feels like I had you just a few days ago. That is the hardest part about being a parent is that they grow SO fast. This new born stage is my favorite and I'm savoring every moment! I still have 2 months before I go back to work so I am definitely taking in every moment I can to snuggle and love on you and your sister. You are so much like Braelin and have been such a good baby!

Clothing: Newborn

Diapers: Newborn

Bedtime: Anywhere between 9 and 11.

Eating: So far we are 100% breastfeeding. I'm so glad it has been going so good this time around. I'm hoping to keep it this way until you are one!  She eats about every 2 hours during the day and every 3-4 at night. But after she eats we have to have her sitting up for a good 15-20 minutes until she burps and even after because otherwise she will spit up a lot!

Sleeping: She  sleeps a lot during the day, but at night she usually just wakes up to eat around midnight,  2:30 and then around 5:30 to eat. Sometimes she'll go for longer though.

Development: She started holding her head up really well by herself before we even left the hospital. Now she really has it down and loves it when we hold her so you can look around. She has also really started looking around and focusing her eyes, especially when her sister is trying to snuggle and kiss her.

Likes:

• Bath time. 
• She loves being swaddled tight in her blanket.
• Snuggling after eating. I always have a hard time putting her down after because she is so sweet! So I just snuggle her most of the day :)
• Her swing and her little chair that vibrates, it always puts her to sleep!

Dislikes:

• Getting dressed or undressed. 

New this month:

• The day before she turned two weeks old it was Halloween. This was really the first time we left the house besides Dr's appointments. We went to a trunk or treat and then went to my parents for a family dinner and trick or treating. You slept in your stroller the whole time and did so good!

Mommy update:

• I lost the 30 pounds I gained during pregnancy and am back to my pre pregnancy weight. (yay!) Now I'm hoping to lose just a few more.
• I'm definitely ready for my post partum check up so I can start exercising again. And to make sure everything looks okay and that I won't have to have surgery like I did after I had Braelin. 
• It's been a little crazy with two kids, and we are trying to get a routine down. But I am loving every minute. We sure lucked out with both these sweet girls!

Daddy update:

• Hunter had knee surgery on November 7th when Kenlie was two weeks old. It was a little crazy and last minute, but we figured we should get it done since we already hit our out of pocket max for the year! 
• Had a whole week off of work after his knee surgery, so we spent a lot of time on the couch watching movies and snuggling our girls! 
• Working AND school full time! He is so busy. But he only has 3 semesters left, we are so close!

Big Sister update:

• Braelin has adjusted a lot better than when we thought. She loves her baby sister and is always asking to snuggle baby. It's so cute seeing their relationship already. If Braelin is down for a nap and hears the baby cry she goes to her bedroom door and yells underneath it and says " It's okay baby, its okay".
• You call her baby Kenny and it is the cutest thing ever. 
• You had the chicken pox... luckily just a very minor case since you have already had the vaccine. But we have tried not to let you touch or get too close to Kenlie.
