Age: 1 Month
Weight: 9lbs 13oz (50-75%)
Length: 22.25" (75%)
Milestones: She has been holding her head up since day one, but is gaining more control every day! She also responds to us when we talk with little noises and even the occasional little smile.
Sleep: She is not the worlds greatest sleeper. She prefers cat naps and snacks with the bottle. She is getting much better at eating more and sleeping longer. She is sleeping in her rock-n-play at night and the swing during the day. She had her days and nights mixed up for the first couple weeks but I think we got that figured out.
Best Moment: Catching that first smile. She tends to eat, and then want to play for a bit. She's super smiley when she has a full belly and you talk to her. I always tell her that she's gorgeous and she lights up from ear to ear.
Worst Moment: Having to go to the doctor for a couple different things. Tenley was having blood in her stools, and sometimes struggling to get out a bowel movement. The doctor diagnosed her with a Milk Protein Intolerance. She is not lactose intolerant, and will hopefully grow out of this by age 3. We are going to try to reintroduce regular formula at 6 months, and see if she's already grown out of it. She was also diagnosed with acid reflux. She has been put on Nexium and a thickener for her formula. We will see if it helps any!
Health: Overall, she's healthy. We just need to figure out a few things and then it will be much better. She still has her belly button attached as well. We haven't been able to give her a good soaking bath.
Eating: She is eating roughly six 4 ounce bottles a day. Sometimes she will eat 6 ounces at once.
Things I want to remember:
**How much her big brother Cooper loves her. He is always giving her kisses and tells her that "it's okay Tenley, you don't need to cry! Mommy will be right back."
**She loves to be held all the time.
**She prefers to sit up on your knee so she can see everything going on. Heaven forbid that she misses anything!
Next appointment: 2 week check up to see how her acid reflux is going. 2 month check up!
