It's unbelievable that Sofia is already one month old! Part of me feels like our time in the hospital was eons ago and part of me is amazed that I already had to pack away the newborn sized clothes. She was so tiny and is now, suddenly, a 9lb baby! A few things to remember about this time:

*She eats. A lot. It's no surprise that she's gone from a tiny 6lbs, 13 oz to a solid 9lbs, 4 oz. She pretty much eats every 2 hours during the day.

*She's sleeping well at night now. Usually two 4 hour stretches, which is wonderful. It took some time to figure this out, but now it's been pretty consistent for a couple of weeks. Knock on wood. During the day we've found that if we swaddle her, we can usually get one good two hour nap in the afternoon. If we're out in the stroller in the mid-morning, that is also a good place for a nap. But mommy can't nap then!

*We still have our witching hour from about 6-9pm...could be colic says the doctor. We're hoping we outgrow this SOON. Nothing really helps, so mommy and daddy pass her back and forth and probably feed her too much to keep her happy!

*She's outgrown her newborn clothes and is wearing 3 month sized clothing, although much of it is still a little too big. She's very close to size 1 diapers!

*It's still hard to tell what she really likes. Sometimes it's the bouncy chair (wonderful while I'm in the shower), sometimes it's the swingy chair...but what she loves most of all is being held and falling asleep on a grandma's shoulder.
