One Month

Carlan is one month old today. I can't believe our little girl is already a month old. Seems like yesterday I was in labor, thank God I'm not! She's getting so big, so fast and has changed so much since we brought her home from the hospital. I took her to the pediatrician two days ago (her belly button was oozing yucky stuff, but it's OK) and she weighed 9.5 lbs!

She still has lots of hair and has started to coo a little. She is very alert and can hold her head up for a few seconds at a time. When she's hungry and Gabe's holding her she goes for his nipple which is absolutely hilarious. Her umbilical stump fell off a week ago and she can now take a real bath. She doesn't know what to think when water is being poured all over her. She just looks confused!

We've gone shopping a couple of times and I think she likes being out and about. Granted most of the time she's sleeping in her seat, but when she's awake she just looks around at her surroundings. She gets up twice a night and sleeps about 4 hours at a time on average.

Carlan gets to meet her Grandma Cathy, Aunty Ca, and Aunty Anna tomorrow. They're flying in from Kansas for the holiday weekend. We're all looking forward to it. For those of you who don't know Carlan has two Grandma Cathy's, but my mom's name is spelled Cathi. Hopefully she won't get confused by that when she gets to be a little older!
