1 Month Old

Charlotte was 1 month old yesterday, it seems like this first month has gone by fast, but at the same time, it seems like she's been here for longer than that. She is a great little sleeper, I remember being much more tired with Parker at this age. I stay up until 11pm, sometimes midnight still because I know if I feed her any earlier she'll wake up twice to eat. The later I feed her, she'll only wake me up once. I will get on a better schedule soon, but I am a night owl so it doesn't bother me to stay up late. Last night was her first all-nighter, she slept from midnight to 7am. But usually I get a 5 hour stretch out of her at night. She is definately growing like a weed, all of a sudden she fits into her 0-3 month clothes that didn't fit her last week. We don't go back to the Dr. until next week for a weight check but I'm guessing that she's over 8 lbs. now. Newborn diapers only fit her for 2 weeks, we are well into her stock of size 1's already.
I can't wait to get a smile out of her, & not one from gas or as she falls asleep making funny faces. Parker smiled at us at 6 weeks, so maybe soon for Charlotte too.

Parker is pretty good with her, but we have had a few jealous moments, especially when I'm feeding her. Hitting & poking mostly...I definately don't leave them alone even for a second. And she can't keep a passy for anything, we go through about 10 a day & Parker always has a pink passy in his mouth. Like as we speak, he just threw the Boppy pillow at her in her swing. Ace is tending to that one.

So dare I say it, but she is an easy baby so far, sleeps well, eats well, poops well, what more could I ask for from a 1 month old! Could we possibly be lucky enough to have 2 easy babies? Knock on wood.

Here is baby Charlotte at 1 month:

Here is a side by side of Charlotte & Parker at 1 month, what do you think, do they look alike? Other than the fact that she has dark brown hair & he had redish-brown hair at that time...yea, as I'm writing this I'm looking at these pictures & thinking, no they don't look much alike. But sometimes Ace & I look at her & think she looks just like he did as a newborn. I guess we'll see as she gets older.
