One Month

Our little "Mees Bees" as we call her or as Daddy has started calling her "Measles" has passed the one month point. Our lives are crazy right now and she has had pretty much no normal life thus far with no normal routines, which I desire for her. She has been very adaptable and has rolled with the punches, but we are ready to move and get settled in our new normal to give her and the other girls some normalcy. In her first month she has flown to Minnesota and back and she has been surrounded by boxes and upheaval. She has no room at this point (since we are moving we did not reorganize the girls' rooms) and will sleep in her swing until we move. She is eating like a pro about every three hours during the day, as I am trying to keep her weight gain steady since we have tiny babies. She has been giving me a 5-7 hour stretch at one point during the night and then follows it up with one to two 3 hour stretches in the night. She has great head control and hates tummy time, but can spin herself in a circle (mainly out of frustration). She loves her sisters and is starting to watch them intently. She has been smiling at us as of late and the girls love when she smiles. She loves to grunt too. She is pretty laid back and cries when she is hungry, tired or has a dirty diaper pretty much. All our babies have been great and we have been blessed with babies that have slept well and eaten well too and Mia is no different. Her one month stats were: 7 lbs. 6 oz.(the 6th percentile) (which I was thrilled with as she was 6 lbs. 3 oz. four days after her birth, so we gained over a pound in a little less than a month!) and she was 20.75 inches tall (the 33rd percentile). She is progressing on her own track and the doctor was pleased with her growth at this point and knows our little ones chart their own course.

 Mia's Monthly Picture with the Sock Monkey

 1 Month, 1 Day! All dressed up to go to her first wedding rehearsal! The big girls stayed home with Miss Kammy while Mia went with us to the rehearsal and then wedding the next day of our friends Lindsay and Brenden. Ben officiated their wedding and Miss Lindsay has been a part of our family for quite some time. We are so excited that she and Brenden are married as we are so happy to call him a friend too!
