You are one month old today! We have survived the first month and it has been hectic and great. Mommy and Daddy love you more than words can express and your older sister is over-the-moon for you. Elizabeth is very protective of you and tells everyone she meets that you are her baby sister and does not like when non-family members get too close to you.
You have already done so much in your first month of life. You have gone on your first road trip to Butler's Orchard to get a pumpkin for Halloween. You have been to a neighborhood party and hosted your cousins Jessica and Noah over for brunch. You have been to Chick-Fil-A twice and have been on a 1-1/2 mile walk around the neighborhood with Elizabeth, Mom, and Dad. You have been to the doctor three times and don't have to go back until you are two months old. You have even been to the grocery store two times.
When you were born, your Ga Ga, Nana, and Pap Pap all came to see you in the hospital. Cousins Jessica and Noah also came to see you in the hospital. Two weeks after you were born, Uncle Adam and Aunt Brigette came to visit you. You are so loved by all of your family!
You like to be held (a lot!) and really like to snuggle with your dad. You will nap in the pack n play, but prefer to nap while being held. You enjoy taking a bath, but you do not like getting dried off. You don't like taking a paci and enjoying sucking on your thumb or fingers. You are happy to ride in the car and usually fall asleep for the entire ride.
You are such a happy baby and only fuss when you are hungry or wet. You like to sit up most of the day and watch your sister. You really like playing on the tummy time mat and Elizabeth loves to join you on the mat and "help" you with tummy time.
10 days ago, you weighed 9 pounds 6 ounces- we are guessing you are around 10 pounds now. You are 21 inches long. You wear 0-3 month clothes and a size 1 diaper.
You get five or six bottles a day that are 4 ounces each. We give you a bottle between 10pm-10:30pm and then let you sleep until you wake up in the morning. Sometimes you wake up at 4am for a bottle and sometimes you wake up at 6am for a bottle. After that you get a bottle every four hours. We try to do a schedule of 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm.
We love you so much Caroline and we love to watch you change and grow each day.
Love,
Mom and Dad
