Kendall - 1 Month old

Wow this Month flew by! It seems like I just had Kendall but then again it also seems like she has always been part of our family. She fits is so well. The other 3 kids just adore her! The girls always want to hold her as soon as they get home from school. Nathan wants to hold her all the time. He loves her so much and is always hugging, kissing and touching her.

She is a very easy going baby. The only times she cries is when she is Hungry, needs a diaper change or just wants to be held. She is very easy to calm down. She still sleeps most of the time. She has several times during the day where she is awake for 20-30 minutes. She nurses every 2-3 hours. Sometimes at night she has gone as long as 4 hours. She sleeps in a co-sleeper next to my bed which makes it so nice for nursing her. I can just reach over and pick her up and feed her.

She doesn't go back to the doctor until 2 months so I am not sure what she weighs now. She is pretty chubby though. She has chunky cheeks and thighs to match! I would guess her to be somewhere between 10 and 11 pounds.

Kendall loves taking a bath. My cousin gave me her baby bath tub that has a sling in it and it is so nice for bathing her in. I give her a tub bath every 2 to 3 days. The other days I just sponge bath her.

This morning I was talking to Kendall while dressing her and I am pretty sure she gave me her first real smile. I tried to get her to do it again when I had the camera but of course she wouldn't do it!

Here are some pictures I took of Kendall this morning.

My Mom bought this bag for me. It has all the kids names on it and little pictures to represent them. We made it so that Kendall has blonde hair. I think it will turn blonde because both of my other girls did. Also her hair that was shaved in the NICU seems to be coming in very light colored.
