Weighs 11.3lbs
21 ½ inches long
Is also known as Reese cup (enunciate the E at the end)
Look at that scarf on that onezie! A girl has to keep her neck warm!
Here's a comparison from last month. She has changed so much! And gotten plumper!
Has outgrown all of her newborn clothes. What were pants a few weeks ago now look like capris!
Eats 3 ounces every two hours… and sometimes she has a little ½ ounce snack in between.
Has quiet bit of dark hair.
Fights sleep at nap time! Most of the time she has to have that ½ ounce snack in between feeding to help her go to sleep. I have been told that this is a complete no no, but when she is so sleepy and crying uncontrollably this is the only solution. Within seconds of the milk touching her lips she is sound asleep.
Most nights we feed her around 8 and lay her down and she gets herself to sleep. We paid a heavy price after she slept all night that one night…the next two nights she did not sleep at all! But since then she is back to getting up once around 3 and then getting up around 6 or 7. During the week when Adam leaves for work she gets in the bed with me and we go back to sleep for a while.
Still sleeps in the cradle beside our bed…and can until she moves to college.
Sleeps in this fleece sleeper, but this is starting to make me nervous. She moves around a lot during the night now and the fleece gets too close to her face for me. So she’ll probably have to get a new sleeping suit soon. And yes, those are stripped socks on her hands! Isn’t she so fashionable with those strips and polka dots on the sleeper?
Loves to ride! Anytime we put her in her car seat her eyes get heavy and before we are out of the driveway she is asleep. This makes for a good shopping buddy! It’s kind of strange though…if we get out of the car and go in to a store she never wakes up, but the instant we walk back in the house she is wide awake. I don’t understand how she knows we are home!
Loves to take a bath. When she is fighting sleep around 7 every night we fill her tub with warm water and she is so happy. Don’t all girls love a warm bath after a hard day? Tuesday night we filled the tub 2 different times and had to dump it out when she pooped in the tub:) I am sure it would embarrass her if she knew I was telling that but isn’t it my obligation as her mother to embarrass her?
Stares at the ceiling fan all the time.
Entertains herself on this play mat for short periods of time

Hates tummy time! She screams when I lay her on her stomach. This lead me worry about her ever learning to hold her head up on her own. So we have been working on strengthening those neck muscles sitting in the Bumbo seat.
Loves her paci (aka Mr. Binky…yes, we named the paci). Weeks ago Adam kept forcing the paci on her until she started liking it. Now she loves it! I am going to let her fight the battle of taking it away from her one day. If we try to give it to her when she doesn’t want it she will stick her tongue way out and gag…which makes us laugh!
And yes, she is wearing Christmas outfits before Thanksgiving...
And just a few random pics...
Don't you love these leg warmers! So cute!
On a side note… it has come to my attention that my BFF Steph thinks that I am not blogging enough…So all together now can we sing…All I want for Christmas is high speed at home....high speed at home!! Speaking of Steph we will be reunited next week when she’s home for Thanksgiving and there is no telling how many world problems will be solved over that lunch date. But seriously, CenturyLink… you are losing quiet a few dollars by not offering high speed in my area! Me and the two other people that live within this 15 mile radius WANT your services! What happen to catering to the needs of the customer?
How beautiful Reese cup is!!! LOVE the jean outfit!:) Words cannot describe how excited I am about seeing you & Reese next week!! Yes, if you got high speed & cell phone service for your entire drive to work I would be a happy girl!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about her not loving tummy time. She can't see the world from an upright position that way. Sophie doesn't like it either. She held her head up just fine. My new concern is crawling. She scoots but would much rather be on her bottom!!! That bumbo seat is so helpful. Does Adam have a fit about it being on the counter? Jeremy did. "She will jump out of that thing before too much longer, Melissa." But it is so convenient when you want to cook supper!!!
