Happy first month sweet Aud! I'm writing this a little late but better than never.
Weight - 9 lbs (3/22)
Length - 22 inches (3/22)
Nicknames - Audie-bear, Audawald (dad), Dingy, Little Peanut
Sleep - Getting better most nights, averaging 3-4 hour stretches at a time
Milestones/Firsts - First brewery! (Bond Brothers, Raleigh Brewing - with Aunt Kate); First restaurant visit (Bad Daddy's); Birth Announcements sent out
Likes - riding in the car during the day, being swaddled, child's pose on mom and dad
Dislikes - paci, riding in the car at night
Cat Interaction - Max & Bert will smell you and walk away, they aren't interested in you but they do love sitting in your chairs and your crib
We've been to the pediatrician a handful of times this month, at first you weren't gaining weight so we had to supplement my breast-milk with formula for about 4 days. We had to visit the ped extra to be sure you were getting bigger. The good news is you started to gain right on schedule.
Special trips, visitors, events - Nanny spent your first week here with us and was such a tremendous help! At 3 weeks Aunt Kate came to visit for a weekend. Right before your 1 month birthday we spent the weekend at Nanny & Poppy's house. Lucy was a little confused about who you are and we had a photo-shoot with Nanny and your stuffed chicken.
Things to remember - You love to nap on me and dad in what we call child's pose. You lay on your stomach with your knees bent and your arms crossed with your head turned to the side. It's really the best feeling in the world. For your first month this is the only way you'd nap and we definitely didn't complain. You're still too small for your swing and most chairs so dad and I have been soaking up the chest to chest time.
We've had a lot of support from our friends and family this month, we've had so much food delivered and people wanting to come visit you. You are SO SO loved.
