Tabitha - 1 month old
Where oh where has a whole month gone Tabitha?
My cute little girl you are changing so quickly. You've filled out more in the last week or so - you're no longer in that newborn phase, you are suddenly alot more robust. Probably because you eat so much!
Breastfeeding is going well, you typically eat every 3 or 4 hours except for the evenings when you cluster feed and SCREAM ALOT. Your brothers both did this too..... from around 7 to 11pm every night you're fussy, gassy, inconsolable, want to nurse constantly, and are completely unsatisfied with everything and everyone. I hope this phase passes soon :)
You sleep 3 or 4 hours at a stretch at night still, which is not bad although I'd like a few more hours consecutive sleep sometime in the not too distant future please!
Like Harry you prefer to sleep on your Dad than in your bassinet. I am going to start putting you in it during nap times to get you more used to the idea. Unlike Harry though, you hate a pacifier so there is no way this is an option to settle you more easily.
What else can I tell you about yourself....
You smile nearly every time you come into my arms to feed. You also smile occasionally back at me when I smile at you... these are becoming more frequent and are very lovely indeed.
You have very explosive poo's!
You love having a bath - it seems to calm and relax you and you love being washed and having water poured over your body.
You hate having a dirty or wet nappy..... unlike your brothers who would happily sit in shit all day, the second you are uncomfortable you let us know it!
Every time we go out to eat you decide you need feeding too (inconvenient!)
You will sleep happily in the car but as soon as it stops you wake up - I dread red lights!
You love gazing at lights.... just like Dylan used to. You also love looking at the sun streaming through the trees outside the bedroom window.
You have the most beautiful long fingers and toes.
You're so very much a girl through and through :)
We love you very much indeed little girl, you are adorably cute and gorgeous, and we can't wait to watch you grow :)
xxxxxxx
