eloise at 1 month

Last week Eloise turned 1 month old! We can't believe how fast she is growing already. This week we had her 1 month check up and she is officially at 10 lbs (75th percentile) and 23 1/4 inches long (way off the charts). She is following in her brother's footsteps and is one tall little lady! She is starting to wear 3 month clothes and continues to be comfy in her size 1 diapers (she never fit in newborn diapers - she was too long!).

Our sweet Eloise definitely likes to be held and is a bit of a fussy girl here and there throughout the day. Our pediatrician said that she is mildly colicky and it should hopefully peak sometime around 6-8 weeks and then decrease from there. She is nursing consistently around 9 times a day right now and has a cluster nursing session each night from like 5 to 9 pm. This is the time of day that she is the most fussy and she nurses about every hour, which makes us both pretty tired! Luckily her cluster nursing kind of tanks her up for a big sleep and she usually sleeps until 1 or 2am which is great and then gets up again at 4 or 5ish. So, for the most part she is up just once at night - pretty good for such a little lady!

As I mentioned in a previous post she has already accomplished a big milestone by rolling over from her tummy to her back! And she gives us that sweet smile here and there too - such a precious sweetheart!

Here are her 1 month chair pictures!

First, I tried to have her wear a bow. You can see how she felt about it.

So I took off the bow and we tried again. Much better.

Ethan wanted to get in on the photo session, with his snack of course.

Outfit change!

And later that day, again I tried the bow. Bad idea.

So there it is. Our sweet Eloise at 1 month old and growing up too fast already. We love you so much baby girl!
