Our sweet girls are 1 month old! Oh my goodness. Time has flown by so much more quickly than with Benton. They are so sweet and such easy babies (thank goodness), and we are so blessed to have added them to our crazy family.
Adelyn at 1 Month:
Emery at 1 Month:
Some facts from the girl's first month of life:
-Wearing newborn clothes, though they have plenty of room to grow into them.
-Wearing newborn diapers.
-Eating 8 times per day for 20 minutes. They also take a 3 ounce bottle when it is more convenient.
-They are sleeping in their crib at night and for most naps. They sleep in the same crib, all cuddled up and cute. :) Somehow their cries or movements don't wake the other (or their brother). As of right now, Emery is the big cuddler.
-We are working on the eat/play/sleep routine. They do well with the eat and sleep part, and are slowly catching on to the play part.
Random things that we don't want to forget:
-Emery will suck on anything. Anything. Her first choice is any part of Adelyn (ear, head, hand...whatever is close). She likes the pacifier, but isn't exceptionally excited about it.
-Adelyn is somewhat obsessive about the pacifier. We put it in her mouth and she chomps on it with her crazy strong suck, and then she starts touching it with her hands and knocks it out...and has a massive meltdown. Therefore, we only do the pacifier when it is an emergency. :)
-The girls first outing was to the Pediatrician, and after that to Unpluggits to watch big brother play. We have also been to the zoo, Target, the playground, the library, and church.
-Both girls hate hair bows.
-We are stopped anywhere we go by random people.
-We go on walks most every morning, and the girls both fit in the stroller bassinet. They are close to needing their own space though.
-Emery is our big sleeper (at night, at least). She would probably have slept through the night every night from the day we brought her home from the hospital if we didn't wake her up when Adelyn wakes up, and I'm not exaggerating at all.
-Due to their natural hairstyles, Landon calls Adelyn "Team Mohawk" and Emery "Team Swirly." :)
-They are starting to hold their heads up pretty well.
Our sweet girls have been such a joy!!! Although our days are busy and sometimes overwhelming, we wouldn't trade this time for anything. People often say that our hands are full, and we agree, but they are full of wonderful things!
