Addie is now one month old! I can't believe how fast this month has gone by. My Mom was with us the first week and a half that we got home with Addie. David returned to work on July 6th and then a week later David's mom Pat arrived. So, we have had a busy month.
Addie is growing quickly. Her birth weight was 8 lbs. 15oz and at her two week check-up she weighed a little over 10 lbs. I think she is certainly at 11 lbs. now. She is now moving into the 3 month and 3-6 month clothes we have for her.
Addie is a good sleeper although like most babies this age she isn't sleeping for long periods of time. That she is sleeping without being held in my arms is a huge improvement over Henry. We are getting 3 and even 3 1/2 hour stretches at night and then I nurse her, change diaper and rock her back to sleep. She still likes to be swaddled which is also very different than Henry. He liked it for about 3 days and then wanted to stretch out. Henry was pretty content just being held and nursed whereas Addie has 2 and even 3 times a day where she is fussy. It can take a lot to figure out what she needs but eventually one of the soothing techniques usually calms her down (nursing, rocking, bouncing, walking).
