4 weeks

My baby is one month old today! She doesn't really even look like a newborn anymore. She already weighs 9lbs. and seems so much less fragile than she was when she was born. Her kicks and grip are getting stronger and, if she's not too sleepy, she can hold her neck upright for a few seconds.

Speaking of sleep, we have had a few days in a row now where she has slept from about 9pm until 1am and then wakes up every 2-3 hours after that. I could live with that schedule, the only problem is, by the time the sun comes up, Reese is ready to start her day which means Mike and I have to take turns getting up at 6am to hang out with her for a few hours. Neither of us are morning people so we are hoping this habit will not last.

Now that the umbilical cord has fallen off, we are able to give Reese a real bath. I wouldn't say that she enjoys it, (look at her deer-in-headlights facial expression), but at least she doesn't cry.

All that nice, silky hair tends to get greasy so she needs a good shampoo every few days or so.

I think that's about it for now. Take care.
