Wow, life has been busy over here! As of today, Selah has already been with us for one whole month!
This sweet girl has been growing a lot!
One month stats:
Weight: 11 lbs 11.8 oz
Length: 22.25 inches
She was born weighing 8 lbs 13 oz which means she has gained over 3 lbs in one month because as of June 10, she was only 8 lbs 3.2 oz. What a chunky girl! She sure does love to eat. She also is a great sleeper (at least compared to Ezra). She goes to bed when we do at 10:00 pm and then sleeps until 2 or 3 am, and then I feed her and she goes right back to sleep until 5:30 or 6, then I feed her and she goes back to sleep until 8:30 or 9. I like that she "sleeps in" because then I get some one-on-one time with Ezra in the mornings since he is usually up at 7:30.
During the day she usually takes cat naps in her rock-n-play but I try to get her down for at least one nap a day in her cradle (which she sleeps in at night) but sometimes that's hard to do when we have places to go and people to see each day!
Life with 2 under 2 has been pretty crazy, but I would definitely say that going from 0 to 1 child is a lot harder than going from 1 to 2. Selah fits right in with us and it's like she's always been here. I imagine it'll be a struggle to get her and Ezra on the same schedule as far as naps and bedtime go, but that's part of parenting. She's an "easy baby" as some would put it and she's so squishy & cuddly!
I'm pretty sure Ezra loves her. He usually doesn't pay a ton of attention to her but she doesn't bother him (unless she's crying then sometimes he goes over to her and starts to cry - but most of the time he just touches her feet when she's crying and looks up at me... it's adorable). When I'm feeding her he will come over and kiss her feet or, his new thing, pet her hair. He sometimes pokes her in the head and I have to remind him to be gentle, and then he'll giggle and softly pet her head. If you ask him to, he'll lean in and give her a quick kiss which is actually just touching his lips to her, or getting his lips within an inch of her head which is good enough for him.
Selah's favorite place to be is right on her daddy's chest. Each evening, this is where she lays while Marcus and I watch tv until it's time for bed. She just completely zonks out, mouth wide open, and sometimes she's in a very odd position, like sideways for example, but she loves it.
She's starting to smile at us and she smiles in her sleep a lot. Super precious. She makes lots of grunts and occassionally makes little "coos" while she's awake. I can't wait for more of the cooing, it's one of my favorite things about babies.
And so you don't miss him too much, here's a picture of Z from this morning:
