Alaina 1 Month

Our lilttle Alaina Jane has been here with us for 1 month...

 She is just so beautiful.

 Elsie really wanted to sneak into a picture with her as well.

At 1 month...

Alaina has a sweet and calm personality.  She is quite easygoing.  The only time she really cries out is when she is ready to eat or if she is going through some gas pains.

Her eyes are turning blue.

Is moving out of all of her newborn clothes and into 0-3, although those are still pretty baggy on her.

Hasn't fallen into a very consistent pattern with feedings yet, mostly due to the holidays and all of the running around and people holding her.  For a couple of weeks she was going to bed after the girls, by 9:30 but then she started to throw in more awake periods at that time and over the last week she gets to her crib for the night between 10:30-12:00.  Hoping to get this to change since daycare is starting back up soon.

During the day she is pretty consistent about eating around every 3 hours.  At night she will go a little longer and her first stretch between feedings is usually at least 4 hours.  One night it was over 5 which was a real treat for me.

Has a longer awake period of 1-2 hours in the morning and then again late in the evening.  During the day the awake periods come and go.
She seems to have really good vision and tracks faces and people, holds eye contact when you talk to her.
Doesn't mind tummy time at all.

Has started spitting up over the last week or so but nothing too bad.  There was only one day when it wasn't happy spit ups.

She is super relaxed with the girls playing with her.  Cora likes to check on her and touch her.  Elsie likes to sing to her and talk to her when she is sitting in her chair.  They all just love each other.

We love you so much Lainey Janie!!
