Cupcakes: 1 month

It's magically a month already. It feels like both a short and insanely long time. There has been a lot going on around here. I have unfortuantely had mastitis twice and my Csection has gotten infected. Both of these are potentially signs that I've been over-doing it. Well, duh.


At one month Sutton is:
  • A whopping 10 pounds! The formula chunk is on! We haven't had her 1 month visit yet, so I don't have her "official" stats. The double chin is our first official roll.

  • Eating all the time. She's pounding around 4 ounces every 2-3 hours.
  • Still grunting... a LOT.
  • Still hating to be put down. I'm starting to think we may unfortunatley have another Emmy sleeper on our hands. The girl is not a napper, unless you hold her, then she'll cat nap with one eye open. But I know she would SWEAR she's not tired. She will sleep in the swing.
  • In the rare case she does sleep, it's usually in a wierd position. She had her feet up like this while she was in my stomach and I guess it is still comfy.

  • Is starting to interact! She will stop and listen to you if you make a noise or talk to her. The kissy noise will even sometimes get a smile! Those are the absolute best.


  • Is starting to get use of her hands. She's doing less of the newborn-y "freakout" moves and starting to reach out towards toys on the play gym.
  • Can hold her head up on your shoulder for a long time. She's really strong. That is her favorite place to be. Looking around on your shoulder.
  • Has ALMOST ourgrown the newborn onsies. Her feet outgrew them a while back. They're so long they don't fit in the foot part and she can't straighten her legs.
  • Is sleeping from around 1-5 at night. We'll take it!
  • Makes MAJOR "Blake face". The girl has her mouth open all the time, but especially while sleeping.


  • Is pretty much CONSTANTLY loved/harassed by Emmy and Beckett. Emmy loves the way her head smells and sniffs her and B says "awwwsweetheart!" and kisses her over and over.


Sometimes it leads to this:
  • Has started perfecting her poses. here's the classic Sears "Hand on chin" and a more couture "bottle/puppy/nonchalant" look.




 Have a feeling 2 months is going to come even faster.
