Evie is 1 month old!

I should remember how fast times goes considering that Mason is about to be 3, but I still can't believe that Miss Evie is already one month old!  It is hard to remember what our lives were like without her in it.  She fits into our family perfectly!  :)



We didn't go to doctor this week, but we did at 3 weeks and her stats were:

Weight: 7 pounds 2 ounces
Length: 21 inches

Some things about our ONE month old:

  • Size NB diaper
  • NB clothes are still a little big, but are starting to fit better
  • Your eyes are still a dark blue, we are thinking they might turn green or hazel like mine
  • You sleep most of the day and love to look around and watch your big brother when you are awake
  • You are having tummy issues.  Not sure if it is something I am eating that you are getting in the breast milk or not, but you are a little grunter when you try to pass gas!
  • You are eating 3 oz every 3 hours during the day.  At night, you will usually go around 4 or 4.5 hours.  You still won't latch on, so I am pumping and feeding you a bottle.
  • You are spoiled rotten!  You LOVE to be held and will usually cry if you get put down.  Right now, you prefer your mommy- I can always get you to fall asleep in my arms!  We need to break you of this!  :)
  • You also will only sleep in the Nap Nanny- another thing we need to break you from.  You still sleep in our room and I'm not sure when we will put you upstairs in your room.  We put Mason in his crib at 4 weeks, but right now it doesn't sound fun to go up and down the stairs 3 or 4 times a night!  Hoping you sleep longer stretches soon and then we will move you upstairs.
  • You love the swing and the sling that I carry you in.  You are SO easy to take places.  You just sleep the whole time or look around.



    Everywhere we go people comment on how much Evie looks like Mason.  Here is some comparison:
    At one month Mason weighed 9 pounds and was 22 inches, so Evie is much smaller than he was!  We do think they look so much alike though!

    We love you, Evie Girl, and can't wait to see how you grow!
