Zoey is ONE MONTH old!

Onesie made by Mommy!

I can't believe our sweet little girl is a month old!! This post is about a week late, but hey, better late than never, right? Time has flown during our first month with Z. 

Weight: last time I weighed her, she was about 10 and a half pounds... She was 8 pounds 12 ounces 

when she was born. Her 2 month check up is on October 3rd, so I'll have a more accurate weight then.

For now, I'm weighing myself and then weighing her. 

Height: 21.5
Clothing size: She has completely grown out of her Newborn onesies, but she still fits into the dresses 

with diaper covers. For everything else, she's officially in 0-3 month clothes. She even fit into a 6 

month jumper the other day! (I think that one ran a bit small...)

Diaper size: Size 1

Feeding: We're breastfeeding, and she is doing great! She nurses about every 3 hours during the day, 

with much longer stretches at night. Sometimes, she'll go 6 hours without eating at night... I think she'll

be sleeping through the night before we know it!

Sleep: Night times go back and forth from being awesome to being a struggle. For example, last night 

she only woke up once, around 4 am... But the night before she was awake from 11pm to about 5am. 

During the day, she still sleeps a lot... She's up for a few hours in the morning, and sleeps until later 

in the afternoon, only waking up to nurse. Around 5 or 6 she wakes up and stays up for a few hours 

again. 

Milestones: Z can lift her head pretty well... She gets lazy during tummy time, though. She started 

cooing the other day... it was so nice to hear her making REAL baby noises instead of just grunts and 

cries! She's not OFFICIALLY smiling yet, but I do get milk-drunk smiles when she's falling back 

asleep, which melt my heart. Also, she's starting to figure out who I am... When I talk to her, she stares 

at me, like, "Hey, I know you!" :) It's pretty cute. 

Loves: Her swing, her Wubbanub paci (It's a blue horse, we call him Wubbie), Momma's milk, 

swaddling blankets.

Dislikes: Baths, gas in her belly, waiting for her meals for any longer than .02 seconds.

Mommy and Daddy could not get through the month without: Gripe water. Seriously, it's like 

magical nectar. Zoey's having a lot of gas issues because of my fast letdown and oversupply... She 

chokes and takes in a lot of air. :( So Gripe Water has been a must-have for us! We use Mommy's 

Bliss, and it's apple flavored... She really likes it! 

I am loving being a mommy! We're working on settling into a routine, and when we do, I'm going to 

open up an Etsy shop! I'm probably going to sell mostly hair bows... I've gotten pretty good at making

them! Also, I recently figured out how to cut fabric with my Cricut... I made the onsie for her picture, 

and I also made this pillow for her nursery!

I LOVE the way it turned out!

Stay tuned for more crafty-type posts... :) See you soon!
