My Poor Girl

Well, we are on day 12 of no pooping ... poor Alexis. She isn't constipated because apparently its very hard for breastfed babies to get constipated because breast milk is so easily digested and there is usually little left once their little systems use it all. But 12 days I think is very long, so I made a doctors appointment. What's really sad, is between her goopey eyes that we had to take care of, her 2, 4, and one month appointments, the receptionist actually knows us by name! Hopefully they can help her!

She's Getting Bigger!

I can't believe how much my little Alexis has grown already! Part of me wants her to stay like this forever! Here are some recent pictures.

Fashionista!

My sister often comes over to help during the day and to spend time with Alexis, usually at some point during that time, there is a wardrobe change in Alexis' clothes ... this day, Ashley took her out on a walk, and put her in this outfit. So adorable!

More Playtime Pictures!

Here are some more my sister took while playing with Alexis, its so neat that she is becoming more alert now and able to focus on things! I can't wait till she starts to talk and babble more!

When Mommy's Away ... Auntie Will Play!

Thought this was funny! My sister had some fun with Alexis, I thought they were cute pictures! She looks like a bald little bug.

Playtime

I just recently started putting Alexis down on the floor and getting some of her musical play toys out. She seems to really enjoy her musical flower which plays "You are my Sunshine". She watches it intently as its petals light up. She also enjoys her crazy caterpillar that makes different noises and has a mirror on the face. I try to get her to play each day, and so far she enjoys it for a bit, and when she is all done, she begins to whine to let you know. Here are some pictures of her enjoying herself!

1 Month Old

I have to admit, the time is flying. Everyone said it would, but I have no idea how right they were.



At One Month Alexis:

• Weights 9 lbs. 7 oz.
• Is 21 1/4 inches long.
• Wears a size 1 in diapers now (which fits between 8-14 lbs.)
• Is still in newborn size clothing, however she is starting to be too big for them and is fitting into some 0-3 month clothing.
• Her hair is starting to lighten up, and continue to grow at the back but not on top.
• Is eating 4 oz of breast milk from a bottle
• Usually eats anywhere between 3-4.5 hours
• Sleeps from anywhere between 2-5 hours
• Loves her vibrating swing, and mommy is very thankful for that! She loves to be turned towards the t.v. and watches all the colours.
• Smiles a lot, but not at anyone, just when she is gassy.
• Likes to pee once her diaper is undone, and usually get's it all over her outfit.
• Bath time is hit and miss. Sometimes she enjoys it, and others she doesn't, she does not enjoy being cold or naked at all.
• Loves her little feet massaged. She curls her toes up on your finger when you are rubbing them.
• Loves car rides, and usually falls asleep from the motion.
• Will lie on the floor and pretend that she likes playing, but usually get's bored very soon and will begin to whine.
