Abby has grown so much in one month it is just crazy! She still loves to eat every chance you give her. She has spit up a bunch on her momma a few times already too from eating too much! Both Abby and I have been covered in milk on numerous occasions.
Abby makes numerous expressions. She is also very alert these days and moans and groans and coos constantly throughout the day. She kicks her feet and punches her little arms when you lie her down. That is the very beginning of her fit – give her a few more minutes and she will be screaming at the top of her lungs. She has very, very healthy lungs! Abby loves to be held and cuddled with. She says this laying in her bassinet business, on her boppy pillow, or in the bed is for the birds. She prefers to be in the arms of her mommy!
Abby smiles some already and she laughs in her sleep too. She is so precious and I could just stare at her all day long. She concentrates on who is holding her these days and really stares at you. She is trying to figure out who everyone is. She loves to watch the ceiling fan turn and thinks that is the neatest invention yet!
Abby is wearing 0-3 month clothing for the most part. The newborn pants still fit her but the onesies and other clothing in the newborn size is too small. She is still wearing newborn diapers but once we go through what she already has we will be upgrading to a size 1 diaper. We’ve already tried a size 1 diaper and they fit her so she is ready to go up one size.
Abby drinks lots of milk! Throughout the day she is drinking 3 ounces every couple of hours. However, in the evenings she drinks 4 ounces (probably two bottles in the evenings before bed). She will go to bed around 8:30 pm – 10:00 pm and sleep until 1:00 am to 2:00 am (about 4 hours). At night she drinks only about 2 ounces each feeding and falls asleep. After she wakes up between 1 am and 2 am she doesn’t do as good. She will wake up about 3 am, 5 to 5:30 am, 7:00 am, and then 8:30 am (if we go back to sleep after waking up around 7 am). Hopefully, she will start sleeping a little longer the second half of the night soon!
Abbygale’s eyes are starting to get some color to them. They are looking bluish-greenish (kind of an aqua color). They are beautiful! She is also very long so I am thinking she isn’t going to be a shorty like her momma, which is great!
We have started getting out of the house more and more and we are actually feeling a sense of normalcy when trying to get out. It is all coming together and we are getting use to how to operate with a little baby. Life is great and Abby is P-E-R-F-E-C-T!! I tell her each night I love her to the moon and back and really I love her so much more than that too! She is my little baby and I’m so lucky to be her momma!
I LOVE this picture with her little feet hanging out!!
