Hard to believe that Ally is a month old! It has flown by so fast. Kiley is still very much obsessed with Ally asking for us to take a picture of the two of them, daily. Kiley really wants to help out, but it is scary how close she gets to her face, how hard she squeezes her and how grossed out I get when she touches her with not so clean hands (just some of the ways I get put on edge!). We are adjusting well, but our trip home to Illinois to visit with family will really help me out, although we will be missing daddy dearly. I have been keeping it together, even making nightly dinners for us, getting regular baths, and keeping up with the laundry. However, the house is a mess and if I can avoid going to the store, I DO!
In the first month, Ally has only gained a pound from her come home weight. She is now at 8lbs. 7 oz. A little on the low side, according to the doctor. Her weight is in the 50%tile. She has grown only a 1/2 inch (22inches total,now) which puts her in the 75%tile. We are amazed that yesterday she rolled over twice from her stomach to her back. Yeah! Go Ally. She is a mover! She also started smiling at us all the time. She is such a happy baby. Oh, and she can SLEEP! Last night, she slept 7 hours without waking us. Makes life easier for mom and dad, since we usually have to get up with Kiley during the night!
