Leah is a month old!

Miss Leah Joy is already 1 month old.  It really seems like we came home from the hospital yesterday.  Life at home is definitely still an adjustment at this point, but overall going really well!

She doesn't go to the doctor until she is 2mon old; but I am fairly confident she is heavier than her sister was at 1mon (10lb 2oz).  I really wouldn't be surprised if she is 12lbs ish. She is a good eater; and  lucky for me a very quick eater.  She spits up occasionally, and when she does she waits until the least opportune moment....like right after a bath or right after she gets clean clothes on.

She has been doing some long sleep stretches at night (5-6hrs).  During the day she loves to sleep in her swing.  The swing we used when Brie was a baby takes 4 D batteries; after Leah burned the batteries out in only 2 weeks I bought a similar swing that plugs in!  Thank goodness for Craigslist, found a great used one for a good deal!  She will nap in the swing for like 2 hours at times, it is wonderful!  Leah also does well sitting in her seat on the kitchen counter or table, she likes to be apart of the action, I guess.  At night she sleeps in a little infant seat that attaches to the pack n play, which is in our room.  And when she decides she doesn't want to stay in her seat she sleeps in our bed with us :)  She usually only is in our bed in the early morning hours; I don't mind....I like snuggling with her, she is going to grow up so fast I just want to soak in all the baby time I can!

She likes to sit in the warm bath.  Although, I have to admit she probably has only taken a full submersion bath 4-5 times.  It is just so much easier to wash her up on our bathroom counter!  And every time I give her a bath she poops right after I get her all dressed!

I am starting to notice some baby acne developing, hopefully it doesn't get much worse.   She also has a blocked tear duct in her left eye; it makes her eye really 'goopy' and 'crusty'.  I have to wipe it often with a warm cloth.

Leah is such an adorable little muffin, we just love her SO much.  Brie is doing really well too.  She will come up and talk to Leah, give her kisses, sing to her, and she talks about how Leah is going to play with her when she is bigger.  Month 1 certainly flew by, but we are all adjusting well and loving life as a family of four!
