Happy One Month, baby girl! Ms. Madison now weighs 9.15lbs and is a grand total of 21 inches tall. She is no longer a boobie baby and although it is hard for me to grasp my failure to breastfeed I know that she is very healthy. She is now drinking 4-6oz of formula each feeding and is wanting to eat between every 3-4 hours.

We are still working on finalizing our daily routine. Usually she wakes up between 6-7am to feed & she'll drink just about 4oz. We hang out for about a half hour before she falls back asleep and sleeps anywhere from 11am-1pm. Where she drinks another 4oz and hangs out for a good hour or so. During this time I lotion her up and get her dressed for the day. Today she also had a bath at this time because she had dry spit up on her neck & fuzzys from her blanket stuck to her.

She'll end up falling asleep for another 2 hours or so and wake up around 4pm to eat. Around now she will hardly drink 4oz before she falls back asleep until 6pm. She'll drink the rest of her bottle (which is about 1oz) and another 4oz. She hangs out in her swing while we eat dinner. Usually she'll stare at the tv- but I think she just likes the colors. She'll also fall asleep around now and sleep until 8-9pm where she gets her evening bath, 4oz of formula and lots of cuddle time. She now will sleep until about 11pm-1am where she drinks a whopping 6oz and is back to sleep until the next morning.

Madison loves her baths and never cries until you take her out. She is having a little bit of a problem with her gas but Mylicon has been an amazing friend. She now masters holding her head up! In the hospital she was holding it up for a few seconds, but now she is a pro! So proud of my girl.
