Scarlett is ONE month old!

At one month, Scarlett:
*weighs 9 lb, 13 oz - 75%ile
*is at least 21.5 inches - 75%ile 
*Sleeps very well.  She goes to bed around 9 and gets up around 3, then again around 6.  Sometimes she will go back to sleep until 9 and that is HEAVEN!
*Doesn't love the swaddle.  She gets out every time!
*Doesnt cry much.  She only cries when she is hungry or wet.  She is such a happy baby.  Alert more and more each day.
*Coos at her sister and has given one or two smiles, but probably not to anything in particular
*Is exclusively breastfed, but takes a bottle of pumped milk easily.  She takes about 3.5-4 ounces at a time and we use Dr. Brown's bottles.  She did have formula one day before my milk came in when she was less than a week old, but she gained 9 ounces in one day so we went back to nursing!
*Likes for me to put her on her back after waking up so she can stretch (and usually poops then!)
*Just started focusing on things, including my face.
*Does well with tummy time.
*Is wearing newborn diapers and clothes, but not for much longer.  Her feet are long and narrow and seem to be getting too long for her little sleeper feet.
*Still has dark blue eyes, but they are getting lighter
*Her hair is dark blonde, her eyebrows are very light and hard to see.  Her hair is very soft.
*Enjoys bathtime and diaper changes - had her first REAL bath at one month old because her cord stump held on forever!  We had to go to the Dr. to have them treat it twice with silver nitrate.
*Sits in her swing for about 15 minutes without fussing, but that is about it.  She doesnt sleep in it, though.
*Naps and sleeps in the Pack N Play next to our bed at night.
*Sleeps easily at night but likes to be held during the day.
 *LOVES her big sister already!

Some firsts -
Halloween - she stayed at home and I didn't even have a costume for her! But we did have some Halloween jammies!



First trip to church - November 6, 2011




First Tub Bath - November 17, 2011

She is such a blessing and such a joy!  We cannot believe both our girls have been so "easy" as newborns.  She is following in her sister's footsteps as a good sleeper and a good eater and just an overall happy baby!

And for comparison -
