Happy 1 Month!

Happy 1 Month Aubrey! 

I cannot believe one month has passed already! Aubrey is doing great and is growing wonderfully. At her doctors appointment this month she weighed 9 lb 6 oz (84th percentile) and 21.5 inches (91st percentile). I do not know where she gets her length from! She is continuing to lift her head and look around and loves to face the world to explore.

She has begun "coo" and will smile when spoken and smiled to. I don't know if I mentioned this in the two month post but she is a major wiggle worm and always moving! She defiantly isn't the typical newborn that falls asleep randomly and is mellow. She never stops and is always on the go (as much as she can be of course!) This month she had her first bath and loved it! She just hung out in the bathtub while she was washed. I am so happy we don't have to rush through bath time!

She sleeps well at night, at least I think so for a newborn! Her first stretch of sleep usually lasts 8:30-1:30 and then she sleeps in two-three hour intervals. My body has gotten used to the new sleep schedule so I feel pretty good! During the day she enjoys 30-45 minute cat naps with one or two "big naps" of 2 hours.  She also enjoys snacking through out the day- enjoying 2-3 oz every 1-2 hours. I'm hoping this month we can get her to enjoy bigger meals less often :)

Till next time! <3

2 weeks old

Aubrey is 2 weeks old (as of 2 days ago)! It's amazing how fast time goes. My parents and brother left so for the first time since her birth Kesar and I are alone as Mommy and Daddy. It was great having the extra help! Tomorrow Kesar goes back to work so I'll officially experience the SAHM thing tomorrow.

Aubrey is such a good baby. She is already very alert and loves to look around. She would rather explore her surroundings then sleep sometimes. :) Her head control is pretty amazing, she is already lifting it up and moving it side to side while on her tummy. She is a wriggle worm! This doesn't surprise me because she was a wiggle worm inside my belly too. Her first doctor appt was great. She was born 8lb 6oz but was down to 7lb 12 oz when we left the hospital. She eats nonstop (I'm nursing) and it only took her 2 days to get back up to her birth weight! She goes again next week and I'm so anxious to see how much she weighs now. Newborn clothes are too snug so she is in 3 month clothes and just about size 1 diapers.

She obviously looks a lot like Kesar, though I think she has my chin, hands, feet and so far... skin. Her eyes were really dark when she was first born but are beginning to become a lighter brown, as well as her hair. I don't think any of it has fallen out so far, as a lot of times it does, so I'm excited to see her hair continue to grow!

Aubrey and Grammy, she loves being on her tummy!

So far she loves the bouncer! She loves the vibration and looking at the hanging bugs. She turns her head side to side as she watches them bounce around. This is also the only way we can get to her sleep during the day. She loves being held so we are working on getting her to STAY asleep when we put her down. Practice and persistence!!

'Till next time! <3
