Jenna - 1 Month Old

Jenna recently had her 1 month well baby check up.  Below are some of the statistics from her appointment and generally what she was up to at the 1 month mark.

Weight:  9 lbs. 3 oz.
Height:   21 1/2 inches

• Jenna gave us her first "social" smile at 3 weeks
• She slept as much as 5 hours straight during the 1st month
• She usually woke at 1 AM and 4 AM for eating
• She usually was awake between 6 and 7 AM --- ready to start the day
• She is on absolutely NO schedule

Jenna's first month went rather smoothly.  She fusses when she is hungry, tired, wet, or has the hiccups.  Otherwise, she is a pretty calm baby.  Just putting that into print makes me nervous....like I'm going to jinx myself or something.

A few firsts...

This posts is for a few of Jenna's firsts.   Her first bath and her first bottle.  And one of her first smiles caught on camera.  Her first bath went as expected --- she cried the ENTIRE time.  Fortunately, she now really likes the bath.  In fact, the girls do bath time together and its one of my favorite parts of the day.  I'm not sure if I really enjoy the bath time, or the fact that everyone is almost in bed and I can relax and possibly sleep too.  Ha!

Poor Jenna --- she still looks traumatized a good 3 to 4 minutes after we got her out of the bath.

Katie had begged to feed Jenna a bottle since the day we brought her home.  I held off for a few weeks because lactation consultants advise against bottles the first month.  Big Sis did have the honors though of giving Jenna her first bottle.

Jenna started smiling at 3 weeks, but we were able to catch it on camera until she was 4 or 5 weeks.  Here is one from my camera phone (not the best pic).
