LakeLynn: 1 month appt

LakeLynn, we are pleased to announce you are 1 month old! Time flies faster with your second child. It has been a fast month & you continue to amaze us each day. You had your official 1 month doctor's appt on Friday, September 19th. You can tell in the picture what you did throughout the visit - slept - except with the 2 shots which woke you up crying. But you quickly calmed down after I snuggled you in my arms. Daddy was out of town so he missed this appt.

1 month stats:
Height = 20.5 inches (born at 19 inches) - 25th percentile

Weight = 7 pounds 8.3 ounces (born at 5 pounds 3 ounces) - 10th percentile

1 month update:
*like mother, like daughter - our baby pics look identical!
*you hold your fists under your chin when taking a bottle just like I did
*rarely cry, mainly wimper when hungry or wet/dirty diaper
*wearing newborn clothes & diapers
*if wearing socks, you like to kick the left one off
*sleeping in our bedroom downstairs in a bassinet (Stryker was already in his crib by this time)
*eating solely breast milk out of bottle
*wants to be held or rocked constantly just like me as a baby
*tolerates tummy time for short periods of time but always trying to hold head up
*smiles a lot
*trying so hard to talk - you'll wave your arms, kick your legs, & move your tongue around like crazy when spoken to
*beginning to visit family & friends since you are a month old
*loves to stroll
*experienced a short bout of thrush - thankfully I caught it very early & we were able to eliminate it in less than a week

Everyone at the pediatrician's office talked about how pretty you were, how beautiful your hair was, how unique your name was, & how sweet you were. Someone actually thought you were there for your 1 week appt since you were so tiny! Your next visit is scheduled when you turn 2 months.
