Cora 1 month

Our little Cora Bora is 1 month old and here she is with the bunny that the girls got over Christmas...

 

 

 

At 1 month Cora....

 

- Is starting to get lighter eyes, perhaps they are turning blue.

- Has her own unique look.  She looks like Elsie but can't pinpoint any others.

- Has started to give us little smiles.  It is not completely clear if she is doing it on purpose yet or not though.

- Seems to be getting big alothough I have no idea how much she weighs.  She is in 0-3 month clothes now.

-Starts her last feeding between 7:30-9:00 before going to bed for the night.  She'll then last 3.5-5 hours before her next feeding between 12:00-1:00, then goes 3-3.5 hours to eat around 4:00, and is then onto eating every 2-3 hours for the rest of the day.

- Has at least 3 good awake periods through the day.  Early in the day, mid-day, and a couple hours before she has her last feeding.

- So far, does not have the reflux issues that her sister had but does have some similar patterns.  She'll make a lot of the gurgly and throat clearing noises, especially after her last nighttime feedings.  She also does the start-stop eating patterns and smacking sounds.  This probably has more to do withmy letdown.  She spits up a couple of times a day.

- She had her first full bottle on New Year's Day when Matthew and I went out to a movie.  My parents were watching the girls and said she took it great.

- Has started to take an interest in the celing fan, just like her sister did.

-The cephalahematoma that she got after birth has completely cleared up between 3-4 weeks.

- Her right eye seems to go sideways quite often.  It is not common for her to focus both eyes right on you.  This is something that Matthew is particularly concerned about.

-She has been having little cold symptoms with sneezes and boogers.  The doctor warned us at the hospital that she would just be more of a boogery baby since she has a big sister that is bringing all of thes viruses around her.

- She is a trooper with that big sister and goes with the flow when Elsie pull her arm, pats her head, lays on her to give hugs, etc.  She got her first little bruise the other day when Elsie accidentally threw keys at her head.  This happened on grandma and grandpa's watch.

- She is our cutie and we all love her so much!
