**Miss Amelia is one month old! She has met many people her first month of life. She has made trips to Saginaw, Midland and Grand Rapids. She has been to church twice and over to Grandma and Grandpa Buchinger's and Grandma and Grandpa Draper's houses. Most days we spend at home enjoying our time together.
**She does not like tummy time and actually rolls over onto her back to get out of it. She is a wiggle worm!
**She was throwing-up about once a day, until the last two days, where she threw-up 3 times. Not just spitting-up but projectile vomiting. She seems to be more gassy and uncomfortable. We are going to the doctor to talk to her about her stomach issues later.
**Amelia is overall a content baby. She has been very alert the past 2 weeks. She likes to look around and sometimes when she makes eye contact, she crosses her eyes. It is sooo cute.
**We used the nipple shield to start breastfeeding, but took her off of that when she was 10 days old. She now loves to feed.
**Daddy and Amelia sit and play piano together. We are hoping she will take to it!
**She is now in size 1 diapers and in both newborn and 0-3 months clothes.
**She does not like a pacifier.
**She weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. at 2 1/2 weeks old and grew 1/4 - 1/2 an inch. We will hopefully have her weighed tonight and update her weight. UPDATE: She now weighs 8 lbs. 8 oz...that means she gained 20 ounces in 11 days!! Woo-hooo!
This past month has been challenging, but rewarding. We love our little girl so much already! What an honor to get to be her parents! Thank you Lord for this opportunity!!
Amelia has been starting to smile in the last week. She does half smiles or little quick ones. I was able to snap a picture of her trying to smile!
