Amelia's 1 Month!

We can't believe our little peanut is 1 month already! It did go by fast but whew, it was a whirlwind that has left this momma tired. Brooklyn has done a great job transitioning, she has her moments but they haven't been as frequent as I expected. She just misses having all the attention from mom and dad, can't blame her! She has loved on her baby sis some though, and those moments are really cute. I think she is starting to realize that Amelia isn't going away :)
Here are some 1 month pictures of little girl!Thanks Aunty Em for the adorable 1 month onesie.
Thanks Aunt Ellen for the FAO bear for Christmas, its still bigger than Amelia!

This was the preferred position...not the previous one...she started screaming.
This little girl wanted to see what was going on...can you say 'haircut needed??'
All she really was concerned about was the FAO bear :)
Loves soft things!
Back to A...she was enjoying rolling around on the chair for a while...
She popped her head up! I think this is the first time she's gotten her head up on her own!
Here are some 1 month facts about Amelia:
- she is eating 3 oz of formula every 3 hours during the day and 3 1/2 oz at night
- she is still waking up about every 3 1/2 hours at night, she has gone 4 and almost 5 one night but that quickly reverted back to 3 1/2 hours :(
- she just grew out of newborn diapers 2 days ago, so we are officially in size 1 (B came home from the hospital in size 1s!)
- she weights 9 pounds 2 oz (50%)
- she is 22 inches long (75%)
- she can still wear newborn clothes but they are finally getting tight (B never could wear NB!)
- she is doing great going to sleep on her own, she loves the passie which B also never did
- she is VERY awake, after she eats she will stay awake for 1 1/2 hours playing on the activity mat (she just started liking this) or in her moses basket, she loves looking at the dots on the fabric!
- she has started to smile some, mostly just the random smiles that don't mean anything but we think we saw one yesterday that may have been intentional
- she screams bloody murder at night when she gets hungry, there is no warm up cry which makes me jump out of bed!
- she has just started making little noises that aren't cries or whines just little mousey sounds - they are really cute!
