All About Emery Kathryn, Month 1
Eats: Every 2.5-3 hours
Sleeps: a lot! Only stays up for an hour or so at a time...but sleeps best in someone's arms. Will usually go 3 hours between feedings at night.
Wears: size 0-3 clothes, size 1 diapers, size 3-6 month socks (girl's got some long, skinny feet!)
Likes: being swaddled, being talked to, nursing, watching big brother, looking at Christmas lights, burying her face in mommy's elbow to get to sleep
Dislikes: when mommy eats dairy, being over-tired, hungry, or cold
Special milestones this month:
- overcame jaundice and a dairy allergy (boo)
- first photo shoot (with Leslie)
- met a ton of people (everyone loves you, obviously)
- first bottle (2 weeks old...you were a champ)
- first Halloween (you were a sleepy pumpkin)
- first Thanksgiving (you had dairy-free leftovers)
-first family movie night (Frozen)
- first overnight road trip (to Chattanoga for Thanksgiving)
- first time being licked by a dog (it took about a week. I tried to keep her away...)
- first (of millions) hugs, kisses, stories, and cuddles
Sweet Emme Kate,
It's hard to believe that you're already one month old, but at the same time, we can't imagine a life without you here! You add so much to our family--a wholeness that wasn't there before. We are so grateful at God picked us to be your parents and look forward to watching you grow. We love you!
Mommy and Daddy
