Amelia is One Month Old!

Amelia, you are a month old already! Let's back track for a moment though...

You were born in the middle of the night (3 am) by the only person in the labor and delivery ward, a nurse. The quickness of it all was scary for your parents, but at least it was over with in a few hours! 

Madeline was excited to see Mama and Daddy again, but didn't know what to think about you. She quickly warmed up once we got home.

Now, let's see how you've grown!

When you first came home:

Length

Birth: 19.5 inches

Now: 21 inches

Weight

Birth: 7 pounds 6 ounces

Now: 10 pounds 15 ounces

Special talents

Making your big sister share with you, getting love from the cats, keeping yourself happy

Crying

You rarely cry, except at night when you are tired or you’re hungry

Sleep

You sleep most of the time! You are awake mostly in the evening but sleep for long stretches at night (3-4 hours).

Dislikes

Loud noises, jerky movements, baths in the sink, throwing up (which you do every few days), and sunlight in your eyes

Likes

You love your sister. Her voice always makes you smile and laugh. The picture frames behind the couch, sitting upright, and singing make you happy too.  

Firsts

Smiles, laughs, and holding your head up. You were also visited by Grandma and Grandpa Crank, Grandma and Grandpa Boehle, and Uncle Travis this month. You are very loved.
