One Month Old

Kayden is one month old today.  It feels like she's been here so much longer!

- weighs about 8.5lbs
- eyes are still dark blue...wondering if they'll stay blue or turn brown as we initially expected?  Levi's were brown by the time he was a month old, but technically he was three weeks older than Kayden is now...
- nights are hit or miss.  Some nights Kayden is up every 3 hours like clock-work, eats and is right back to sleep in 20 minutes.  Other nights she thinks it's time to be awake and will grunt and fuss and make noises in her crib for 2 hours.  I prefer the first of the two...
- The comments we get most often are:
     - she's so tiny!
     - chubby cheeks!
     - perfect skin
     - so feminine
- she sleeps much better than Levi ever did (except being awake during the night, which Levi never was)...she sleeps DEEPLY and isn't easily disturbed...she goes to bed at a reasonable time each night - between 10-11pm
- Kayden hates having her diaper changed, though doesn't shriek nearly as loudly when that cold wipe touches her tush as she used to!
- Kayden is in cloth diapers as of week 3...after we spent $25 each week for the first 3 weeks in disposables, we rushed her into cloth as quickly as we could!  The smell is much less toxic as well :)
- Kayden is wearing 0-3 month clothes (we've already had to put away the newborn sizes!)
- Levi loves his baby sister and will often snuggle up to her or ask to hold her...then right away asks me to go get the camera and take a picture of him and his sister
- At the beginning, we couldn't imagine having a more content little girl.  Now she seems to be bothered a bit more by gas, but is still, generally, quite content
- she is a pro at holding her head up.  She wants to take in everything around her and will often bring her head up off our chests when we hold her to see what she's missing.  And she doesn't even do too many face-plants when her neck gets tired, either.  So proud :)
