Peyton - 1 Month

Stats:
Birth Weight: 8lbs 6oz (down to 7lbs 9oz when we left the hospital)
1 Week: 8lbs 13oz
2 Weeks: 10lbs 5oz
1 Month: 11lbs 13oz

Obviously our little girl likes to eat. She isn't so little anymore. I joke that all of my babies only stay little for about a week, because each of them have gained about 3.5lbs in the first month of their lives. I'm very thankful that nursing is going so well and she is getting enough to eat. I love her chipmunk cheeks and her round belly. It makes me so proud.

Sleep:
She still sleeps a ton, but we are getting more awake time with her during the day. Usually is wide awake around 11am, 4pm and 7pm. She usually only lasts for about an hour to an hour and a half before she is back out again. At night, I usually cluster feed at 6pm, 8pm and then again at 10pm. This has definitely helped and she will sleep for 4 to 5 hours in the first stretch at night and then for 3 to 4 hours the next stretch. I usually only wake up twice at night to feed her. I still have her sleeping in our room next to my side of the bed. I don't plan to move her to her room until she is sleeping through the night.

She loves:
Taking a nap on her Daddy's chest while he watches the Texan's on Sunday. (I like this too, because I can take a nap on Sunday's)
Watching her brother and sister. Every time Mason & Taylor come over to talk to her, she smiles.
Riding in the car. She sleeps great and doesn't mind being in her carseat.
Cuddle time and rocking with Mommy in the glider. I treasure those moments, because all too soon she won't want to sit still and I will long for these days again.
Bath time - this wasn't a hit to start off with, but she really enjoys it now.
