One Month Old

Alayna - 1 month old - check out those tights! Slightly big - I know - but I couldn't resist :)

Alayna Mae is 1 month old today. Wow - has this time flown by. Alayna is a great little girl. She's been eating like a champ. We have her one month appt coming up this week - we'll see how "big" she is really getting. She sleeps great...during the DAY! At night on the other hand - it's not been good at all. Last night was about the worst night since she came home. I think my longest stretch of sleep was about 45 mins - which means Brian's isn't much longer. He's waking up every time we are up - just isn't up as long. You would think - some of the times she wakes up she would just want to be held or have a belly ache or something - NOPE - she won't stop crying until she gets to eat - every time! It's been quite the challenge. Please pray she starts sleeping better - so we all start getting more sleep.

What else about Alayna? Well - she is still wearing newborn size clothes and diapers- but the sleeves are getting short on some things and she is full length in most sleepers now - so she will definitely be out of size newborn before Grant was. We will find out what percentage she is later this week. She is sleeping (well - kind of) in her bassinet in our room, likes her bath time (especially having her hair washed) and hates to be cold (diaper changes, when I take too long changing her clothes or right as she's going from bath water to towel).

This is Alayna in her bouncy after an exhausting night. We were showering and getting ready for church and she was sleeping away :)

Here she is cute but sad - you can see in here eyes she had just been crying. I don't remember why - likely b/c she was hungry - that was the only thing she really cried about yesterday :)
