Millie...1 month

I can't believe it, but Millie is already 1 month old. Whew, having a December baby is rough...I should know since I have done it twice now. It's like things never slow down and your life is in constant crazy mode for the first few weeks. So anyway, I am very happy to have things slow down a bit around here. The boys are back to preschool, which is always nice and I am finally enjoying some quiet days with Millie.

We had her 1 month check up today and my suspicions were confirmed...she is a chunk! She weighed in at 9lbs, 8oz...which is up 3lbs since her last appt 3 weeks ago. She went from less than 10th percentile to 55th percentile in weight in 3 weeks. I seriously don't know what I will do if I actually have a "good eater" for a child! She is still up a lot at night, but I am starting to get at least one 4-5 hour span of sleep from her. The pediatrician seemed very happy/surprised by this...which was a little discouraging to me...I thought she might be sleeping thru the night by now! lol

Here is a picture from bathtime, which is NOT one of her (or my) favorite times. Trying to bathe a newborn with a 4 and 5 year old hovering over you the entire time is just not fun for anyone. I think I have set a record with how fast I can get in and out of that tub...and almost every time at least 2 out 3 kids end up crying!
