1 Month Old

I'm going to start posting some thngs on the blog because Ryan doesn't seem that motivated these days. It has been a busy couple of weeks with meetings for planning the house. We've finished the kitchen and bath design aspect for the most part. So many decisions.

On Monday the entire clan and Meghan took Chris and Terri out for Terri's birthday. We all ate

'til we were stuffed and had leftovers for lunch the next day.

Today Drew had her one month check-up with Dr. Liu. She is perfectly healthy and here are her stats:

Weight: 9 lbs 7 1/2 oz (50th%)

Length: 21 3/4" (75th%)

Head: 14 3/8" (30th%)

By comparison Trevor was only 8lbs 3 oz (20th%), 21 1/2 in (50th%) and head 14 1/2 in (25th%) at his one month check up. We are working on sleep training which is difficult since she is sleeping in the Pack n Play right by our bed. We have ordered new furniture for Trevor and Drew is going to get his furniture but it isn't in yet. She is doing pretty well though and usually only wakes up once in the middle of the night at 3 or 4 to eat. Sometimes she doesn't want to go back to sleep though and that is not fun.

Trevor is obsessed with his sister and constantly wants to hug and kiss her. He has a pretty bad cold right now so we are trying our best to make him keep his distance but it is a challenge. He and Ryan had their first of 8 "parent and me" soccer sessions today. He wasn't very interested in shooting the ball to the goal but loved dribbling up and down the field. I guess that means he'll be a mid-fielder when he grows up!

Like Jeff and Brenna, we're going to take a monthly picture in the same spot next to a reference stuffed animal to see how she grows.

This first post looks a little rough but I will get better as I go along.
