1 month

Kylie was 1 month old yesterday!

According to our home scale, she is about 9 lbs. She's in 1 diapers and kind of in between newborn and 0-3 clothes. 

She nurses 8 times a day, and goes for 4 hours between feedings two times overnight. When we give her a bottle she drinks 2-4oz. She usually takes two 45 min naps in the morning and sleeps a lot in the afternoon and evening.

On her one month birthday we stayed home from morning church due to some issues I was having, she went to the nursery for evening church for the first time while Josh and I did music, and we cheered on the Steelers who lost the wild card game to Tim Tebow.

In the past week and a half she met her other grandparents...

had some good tummy time...

celebrated Daddy's birthday by wearing her first headband bow...

and thanks to suggestions from the Grandmas, took her first bath without crying (I put her in the regular tub so she could be submerged, put a towel under her in the tub, kept a warm wet washcloth covering her and used an actual baby towel. I'm still trying to figure out how to go from tub to towel without scaring her or getting me soaking wet)

a few days later she even fell asleep in the tub!

We're still trying to figure out if she's a spitter... she had a week with a lot of big ones, but she's barely spit up the past few days. She's having a lot of trouble with gas pain, but we're thinking (hoping!) that dairy is the culprit. I'm on antibiotics now, which I understand can also bother her stomach, so it will probably take us a few weeks to figure it out.

She's looking at us more. I love it when I give her a bottle and she watches me the whole time. She also likes to GRAB at me or the bottle (which ever one is feeding her).

She still loves her swing and binkie, and now that she's a little longer she loves laying in the boppy and stretching her arms and legs.

I use the Swaddleme for naps and fleece Halo swaddler for night. We don't use the binkie to sleep unless she's having bad gas pains. She's had a few rough nights and Daddy stayed up with her and let me sleep. But for the most part she goes down no problem!

I haven't seen any hair loss yet! Maybe she'll keep it! She did get cradle cap and baby acne, so she's a bit of a hot mess at the moment :) But we still think she's pretty cute.
