Rylie 1 Month Update
I can't believe that Rylie is already 1 month old. This month has gone by so quickly. I feel like we were just bringing her home from the hospital. We are so grateful for all the help we've had this past month from family and friends as we adjust to life with 2 kids! Rylie continues to be a sweet and easy going baby. She sleeps just about anywhere and has naturally followed a schedule of feeding just about every 3 hours during the day. The last 2 nights she has even had a couple 4 hour stretches! Rylie has gone many places that Derek never went his first month, due to an active 21 month old. She has been to the zoo, swim lessons, park, play dates and grocery store multiple times this month. Rylie LOVES her soothie pacifier (Derek wouldn't take a pacifier) and this has been a great help for me when I am out with both kids.
Her 1 month well check stats are 9 lbs 1 oz (44%) and 21" (48%). From her 2 week well check to her 1 month well check she gained 26 oz!!! We just LOVE her chubby cheeks and she is beginning to smile at us too.
Rylie has gotten LOTS of love from her Big Brother! Derek just adores her. He gives her kisses all the time and makes sure that we bring her with us when we go somewhere. It just melts my heart to see how gentle he is with her. We just LOVE our sweet baby girl!
