Lily Anabella one month old already!!

How did that happen?? I just blinked and Lily is already one month old. While this tiny stage is so tiring and testing, I want her to stay tiny just for a wee bit longer :(

So here is some photos of Lily at one month old :)

Some quick facts to record:

Weight: 4.7kg (1.3kg heavier than birth weight)
Length: 50cm (which is the same as birth)
Illnesses so far: Eye infection and Thrush
Feeding in the day: approximately every two hours
Feeding and sleeping at night: last feed somewhere around 10-11, wakeup somewhere around 3-4am and then again around 7-8am.
Eyes: Still a dark pretty grey colour.
Developments: Can lift up head 45deg angle and keep it there for a good few minutes. can easily turn head from side to side. She actually rolled over last night by kicking her feet against me - I was amazed!!
She has a good grasping reflex, and keeps on grabbing onto my hair ouch!
A few little bubba sounds starting to form
And if you are lucky you might get the most gorgeous smile, although we are only getting one maybe two a day.
Personality: She is sooo different to her sister Katie. She seems to have a very content soft little natured personality. She mostly only raises her voice if I'm too slow to catch on that she is starving, but she usually just gives little cues, so she really just doesn't cry alot at all. She loves and adores to be cuddled and loved and loves staring intently into our eyes. Problem with that is that she needs to sleep close to us in the day, so either in our arms, on our chest, or close by in her bouncer so that she can hear us going about our day.
Her family: I think she has had me twisted around her finger since she starting wiggling in my tummy, I just love this little bundle of joy so much, I hate to pass her onto other people as I just want to hold and cuddle and smell her up, she is such a joy!!
Katie is totally in love with her, so much so that she is such a hand full, and more than often wake Lily up as she just NEEDS to kiss or hug or hold her. She is incredibly helpful and will fetch things for Lily and she always comes along for the nappy changes and bathing sessions. She gets VERY worried when Lily cries and always tries to soothe her as best she can - by rocking her bassinett or patting her head telling her 'it is okay Lily'. When Lily sneezes Katie says 'Bless you Sweetheart'. I think these two are going to be the bestest of friends!!
Lily's Daddy: I think that his daughter has stolen his heart already. When he gets home he always offers to take her and put her to sleep on his chest while he watches movies on his computer. He evens says 'no' to dinner when he has you and waits till you have a feed before he eats.
Names: I seem to be calling Lily names such as Sweetheart, Lily-belle. Katie loves calling her Sweetheart or Lily Anabella and her Daddy calls her Pikinini
Things we love: My favourite things about you is the way you love to tighten your body and stretch each limb one by one when you wake up. I just adore those big bright eyes and your adorable skinny long fingers and feet!
Lily's Daddy seems to love the colour of her eyes, her big bright eyes and the way she does a 'matrix move' by tightening her body and crossing her legs when she has had a good fill of feed and we pick her up for a burp.







Hope the next months don't pass as quickly as this one did!!

It is almost weekend woohoooooo!!
