Ashlyn @ 1 Month

1 month old

My how one month flies by! It seems like Little Miss Ashlyn has been with us all along! She is a sweet little girl who loves to cuddle and be held. She prefers to fall asleep while in your arms or lying on your chest. We are trying to break her of that before it is too late!!

She nurses 6-7 times a day. If she stays awake for the entire feeding (and that's a big "if"), she can finish in 20 minutes.

She has slept through the night one time (10:30 pm-5 am) but that was technically 3 days after she turned a month old so we will save that for next month's update. :o) She normally will go to bed around 8:30 pm. I will wake her for one last feeding around 10:30 pm. She will wake up for a feeding around 3:00 am and then sleep until 8 or 9 am. She sleeps pretty much throughout the day with only a few hours of awake time. Of course she is wide awake and fussy around 5:30 pm when I need to start dinner! Daddy is usually getting home around that time so that's when he gets the hand-off!

She has had some tummy issues lately where she will just kick and scream until we lay her on her tummy or rub it. Hopefully it isn't something that I'm eating that is giving her problems.

Ashlyn has rolled over from her tummy to her back 5 or so times. She likes to lay on her tummy with one of her arms under her chin so once she gets her legs kicking it doesn't take much for her to roll.

She has very strong legs and already likes to "stand". She has scooted around on the blanket some, too, pushing with her little legs.

She started smiling on the day she turned 4 weeks old.

She still looks a lot like her big brother!
