Sweet little Annie is already one month old! When I was pregnant with Chloe and when she was just a tiny infant, every mom told me, "Enjoy this time as it goes way too fast!" And now my firstborn will soon be 3 and my second babe is already a month. It does go way too fast. I think Will and I are appreciating the littleness and the beginning few months even more now that we know how quickly time passes.
In Annie's first month, we have marveled at her ability to sleep. Sometimes it takes a considerable amount of effort to get her off to dreamland, but once she's there, she'll sleep for some long stretches of time. In the first 3 weeks, I had to wake her up during the day to feed her every 2.5-3 hours. After that, my milk supply was more than sufficient and she was growing and gaining so I allowed her to let me know when she needed food. At night she's waking up every 4-4.5 hours and she's to the point now where she'll semi-easily go right back to sleep. We are so grateful and appreciate this stage as we know it can quickly change! At Annie's one month appointment, she weighed 9 pounds 14 ounces and is 22.5 inches long. That means she has gained almost 3 pounds and has grown 3 inches since her birthday!! Mama's got some good milk :)

Happy 1 Month Birthday!
Despite the cold and rain, we have been enjoying our summer so far. Chloe goes to preschool on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is when I do my baking and resting! Wednesdays we go to storytime at the local library and Thursdays Chloe is in a dance class through community education. We've gotten together with some friends for playdates and BBQs and have enjoyed lots of outdoor time. Chloe loves to ride her trike around the neighborhood and of course, take walks to the park. Because of the rain we've had recently, she has done a lot of splashing in puddles! I love experiencing life through the eyes of my toddler. Everything is an adventure and the world from ants to dinosaurs is met with curiosity.
