i can't believe its already been a whole month but at the same time i feel as if avarie has been around forever. i love this little girl so much - i truly can't imagine not having her. it's like my life is actually important now that i have a sweet angel to take care of!
well this past month has definitely been a learning experience - i was TERRIFIED of tiny little babies because they are just so fragile. now i can't imagine avarie getting any bigger, i want her to stay mini forever!
avarie is such a good baby - the first week or so her schedule was all backwards. she was awake the whole entire night and would still be awake a good amount of time in the day... i was thinking i would go insane if i didn't start getting some consistent chunks of sleep. luckily about 2 in a half weeks ago she started sleeping atleast 6 hours every single night! she's kept this little pattern up as well and i'm mighty grateful for it. i just am crossing my fingers this keeps up because i go back to work in a week..
for the most part avarie loves her baths - if she is being fussy they usually calm her down and she's a happy baby until she gets out. there's a few times where she doesn't like to get scrubbed or get her hair washed but thats not all the time.
there's one thing for certain though, avarie HATES getting her diaper changed. as soon as we lay her down on the changing table she starts having a fit.. she knows exactly what is about to happen and lets everyone know she is not a happy girl.
avarie is still fitting best in clothes that are "newborn" size - there are even still a few little tiny outfits that she doesn't fit in yet that are labeled newborn.. she's just a tiny little girl and i absolutely love it! she just has soo many outfits that are 0-3 month size that are adorable - i can't wait til she can fit into some of those..
avarie has gotten spoiled this last month. everyone wants to hold her all the time! i'm trying to be a little more strict by putting her down for a while just so she doesn't always expect to be held at every moment of the day, but usually if she makes one little sound someone will go pick her up... she's just so loved by every one around her they all to keep her happy and always have her near.
when avarie cries she does the cutest little lip quiver thing - its hard to take her crying seriously when it's so dang cute!
i've been breast feeding this little girl and she's been doing great with it! i can't believe how bad it hurt for the first couple weeks... and now it is still uncomfortable when the milk is coming in! i've always heard all these stories about breastfeeding and how painful it is but its just something you have to experience to really know what they are talking about. but avarie usually eats every 2.5 to 3 hours. sometimes at night she gets super hungry though so i'll feed her a little sooner.
miss avarie has been such a wonderful addition to my family - she is so loved and i really can't get enough of her. if someone else is holding her, i get jealous that she's not in my arms. if i go out of the house for a little bit, i miss her and can't wait to get back! this little baby has completely changed my world but for the better. i can't wait for the upcoming adventures with this gal.
