One Month Old



(I took her one month photo next to my old Pound Puppy, to show how big she is! Her onesie says "Bobblehead" :)

At 11:25 tonight Madeline will officially be one month old (4 weeks, 3 days)! It really has flown by, it feels like yesterday that I was so impatient for her to be born. 

One month old includes:

  • lifting her head for a few seconds, or holding it up by herself when she is being held up
  • she can get on her side when placed on her back
  • coos, and makes noises
  • goes through several diapers in a day
  • only cries when needs a diaper change, is hungry, or overly tired
  • sleeps in bed with mom and dad (we tried not to). She falls asleep while nursing and wakes me a couple times in the night to nurse, and each time we both fall asleep. 
  • focuses eyes on objects, follows objects with eyes
  • has just stared hitting at things, and tries to grab at them
  • smiles (I think it is intentionally)
  • loves taking baths in the bath tub
  • loves being carried in the mei tai carrier
  • will drink from a bottle
  • does not manage to suck a pacifier yet (only if held in her mouth for her)
  • fits into size 1 diapers, and 0-3 month clothes
Happy One Month Birthday Madeline Mae!

We love you!
