1 month- Emmaree

It's hard to believe that our little Emmaree Joy is 1 month old (actually 5 weeks now). She brings so much happiness to our family. I will post her birth story sometime, but for now I wanted to write down what she is like at 1 month old.

-Weighed 8lbs 5 oz at 2 weeks and 9lbs 12oz at 5 weeks! She's our little chunk!
-She loves to be swaddled and rocked. This is usually how you can calm her down when she gets really upset.
-Started liking her "binky ba" at 3 weeks.
-Nurses like a champ now. We did have to see a lactation consultant to get help with her latch, but now she's great!
-Has reflux, just like Rowan did.
-Has thrush, just like Rowan did...and I have it again too, no fun :(
-Has the sweetest smile and is starting to smile more and more when we talk to her.
-Has a really strong neck
-Sleeps pretty well at night. Usually up once or twice between 10 and 6
-Sleeps half the night in her co-sleeper, and the other half in our bed laying on my arm :)
-Is still wearing her newborn cloth diapers.
-Fits into some of her newborn stuff and some of her 0-3 month stuff
-Loves us to "wear" her in the Ergo or ring sling. She usually falls right to sleep.
-Is liking her baths more. She likes the water really warm!
-Gets really bad belly aches and will have giant burps.
-Takes a great afternoon nap in her swing.
-Is starting to "talk". She has the sweetest little voice.
-Doesn't seem to mind when Rowan gets all up in her face!
-Is such a snuggle bug.
-Has SOOOO much hair. It is really thick and quite long. It also goes quite curly after bath.
