Height and Weight: At her appointment last week, she was 10 pounds 14.5 ounces (2%) and 24.5 inches (53%). Growing growing!
Sleep: Clara's sleep hasn't been great lately. Between fighting a cold and trying to transition her from the rock'n'play to the pack'n'play, there have been mulitiple wakeups. But I know we'll get to the day when she's sleeping through the night and I'll miss those middle of the night snuggles.
Naps are pretty inconsistent. If we have the time she'll usually take at least one long one, but a lot of time those naps are broken by us needing to go somewhere or do something. Thankfully she handles it pretty well- I just feel bad that there's no consistency.
Eating: At this point she's probably getting most of her food via formula. After about 10 minutes of nursing (only on the right- she refuses the left!) she'll then drink 2-4 ounces of formula. At her well check on Tuesday the doctor noticed her spitting up and suggested trying a reflux formula. Thankfully the doctor's office had samples, so we'll give that a try to see if that lessens the spit-up.
She eats about every 2-3 hours throughout the day, which usually looks like nursing/bottle before we leave to go somewhere, and then again when we get home.
Diapers/Clothing: Clara is still in size 1 diapers, and just this week, I pulled out her 3-6 month clothes. After getting rid of all the boy clothes I've been holding on to, it's hard to think about giving away newborn baby girl clothes. I know friends will use some, and my sister is getting some in hopes that she has a girl someday. :)
Social/Milestones: This past month has been full of cooing, smiles, and the beginnings of a giggle. She'll clasp her hands together in front of herself, and grip on to things with those tiny fingers. She blows lots of bubbles, has really good head control, and tolerates brief periods of tummy time. When she sees herself in a mirror (like above her swing) she'll often smile and coo at herself. She also sat in the Bumbo for the first time!
Likes: She still really seems to enjoy bath time and does well with the water being poured over her head. She still likes to be swaddled for sleeping, but those days will be over once she can roll over. She of course loves being held and talked to, as well as being worn in the wrap.
Dislikes: We still have car rides where she screams about being in the car seat, but is doing SO much better. Other than that, she really only cries when she's tired or wants to be held. I'm praying her easy-going personality continues!
Fun things we've done: This has been a busy month, but Clara was mostly along for the ride or stayed at home for the farm field trips. I took all the kids to Sharp's Farm with friends, and we went up to Grove City for homecoming. We had fun with friends at MOPS and during play dates. We got to enjoy a dinner with all four grandparents, and do some work on the house before moving in with my parents. It was definitely busy, stressful, but full of fall fun!
