One month old

It's amazing how time continues to fly by!  I can't believe Harper is already one month old!  Well, really 5 weeks old today.  She's growing so fast, too!  She weighed 9 pounds, 8.5 ounces at her 4 week appointment (60th percentile) and was 22 inches long (75th percentile).  That's almost two pounds more than her birth weight.  I've been exclusively breastfeeding and she eats very well.  She poops very well, too.  I've read that breastfed babies stop pooping so much around four weeks... I'm hoping that this happens soon.

I'm really getting used to being sleep deprived.  Not that I wouldn't welcome a full night of sleep :)  Harper actually slept 7 hours straight on Sunday night (8 pm to 3 am); however, this was after NOT sleeping all day Sunday!  I'd much rather get up during the night than to have a fussy baby all day long!  She is sleeping for longer stretches at night though so hopefully 7 hours will be the norm pretty soon.  Right now it's more like 3-4 hours and then 2 or so hours.  Harper really is a good baby, and Jason and I are really enjoying getting to know her :) 

One month old!


Tummy time!



Harper naps in my arms after eating every afternoon


Thanks Stacy for the sleep giraffe!

 Love her expression here looking at her daddy!

 So sweet
