One Month!

Savannah turned 1 month old yesterday!  That month went by in the blink of an eye.  We have loved adding her to our family, and once again, it seems like she has always been here.  She is precious beyond words, and just so chill.  Here is some info about her first month of life:

• She is my sleepiest baby by far.  I have to wake her up during the day to feed her!  This is slowly getting better, and she has had more and more awake time.  She will usually eat, be up for about an hour, and then go down for a nap.  With three, I haven't had a ton of time to just hold her when she sleeps, so she has gotten pretty good at sleeping in the bassinet.  She will cry for a few minutes at times, but usually can put herself back to sleep...usually.
• Doing better and better at night.  The first few weeks, she would have trouble going right back to sleep.  She would be awake for 2 hour stretches (only at night though...go figure), but in the last week, it has seemed that she has mastered going right back to sleep after eating. Yeah!  This makes nights so much better for me!
• She usually gives me one longer stretch of about 4 hours, sometimes 5, and then is up every 3 hours on the dot after that.  For only being 1 month, I'll take it!
• She eats great, about every 3 hours and hasn't had any issues at all in that department.
• Just weighed her on my scale, and it says she is up to 10 pounds, yeah!
• Baby acne just set in at 4 weeks on the dot.  All of my kids have had this, so I was not surprised.
• In newborn clothes, and size 1 diapers.  I think she would still be fine in newborn diapers, but we got a ton of size 1 from friends, so we are using those.
• She is my snuggliest baby by far.  She will lay her head on your shoulder and just snuggle, I love it!
• We think she resembles Luke the most, but then when I look at pictures (see below), she and Audrey sure do look alike as well.  I have also gotten many comments that she looks like Brian.  I'm happy for him, as no one has ever said the other two look like him! ;)
• She loves looking at the lights and loves being swaddled.

Here are some more pics of our girl.

Here is Audrey at 1 month old in the same outfit.

 

And Luke.  Poor Luke, my camera skills weren't quite up to par in his day. 

 

I wanted to continue the tradition of putting her in a chair and seeing how she grows like we did with Audrey.  (Luke takes his growing pictures in an old shirt of Daddy's)  We chose a different chair this time, and you can compare the two girls in the below pics.  Savannah is picture one and Audrey in picture two.  (Looks pretty similar to me!)

Savannah is so loved and we are just thrilled that God chose her to join our family!
