One Month Old!

How is it possible my little princess is one month already?  How can the past month have flown by, yet the last month of pregnancy felt like it was never ending?  Ella has fit right into our little family.  Ava loves her so much and is such a good big sister!

No doctor's appointment this month, so I weighed her on our scale this morning to see where she was at.  Our little sunshine weighs in at 10 pounds, 6 ounces.  I didn't even attempt at getting a measurement for length, so we'll have to wait to see how much she's grown until her two month checkup at the doctor.

At one month, Ella:

• Can lift her head for several seconds while doing tummy time or when you are holding her chest to chest.
• Doesn't mind tummy time, but usually falls asleep so we haven't been doing it very often.
• Enjoys laying on the floor or on her boppy near wherever Ava is playing.
• Really enjoys her bouncy seat and has started liking her swing more and more this week.
• Takes a bottle really well.
• Doesn't mind bath time now that she can be fully emerged in the water.  Although, she screams when getting her out.  (Ava loves helping with bath time.)
• Loves to be held and snuggled to sleep.
• Is a very loud sleeper.  She does a lot of grunting and groaning while sleeping.
• Rarely cries when she wakes up, she usually just lays there and looks around making noises.
• Wakes up once to eat (usually between 3 and 5 am) and then up for the day between 6:30 and 8 am. She has gone long stretches of 7-7.5 hours three different times!
• Still spends a majority of the day sleeping, but is starting to be awake for longer stretches. 

Ella is currently wearing size 1 diaper.  I've been using size NB to use them up the past couple of days and she is running out of room in them!  We have also dabbled into using cloth diapers sometimes, but that will be another post entirely.   Ella is currently wearing size NB and 0-3 month clothing.  The NB clothes are getting a bit more snug, but they are still fitting her fine.  

Ella's eyes are still a dark blue-grey in color and haven't changed.  I am assuming I will have another brown-eyed sweetie, but being that they haven't changed yet it makes me wonder.  Of course, I can't quite remember when Ava's changed.
