Wow...it is hard to believe that we have been a family of 4 for a entire month! I know I am her mommy but I think Eisley is just the cutest little thing.
Brian and I have come to the conclusion that we just make babies that like to cry...a lot! Her best time of day is typically the morning and early afternoon. After 4 pm there is no telling how the day will go. For example, last night she screamed from around 9-midnight. Yep..not so fun. Because Tyler was such a hard baby I feel more prepared this time around. That doesn't mean that its easy but I do feel less stressed and frantic when she is fussy.

She is such a good eater and in fact Dr. Berkowitz was surprised at how quickly she not only gained but surpassed her birth weight by her 2 week check up. She has the cutest leg rolls :). I feel like she already look so much bigger than she did when she was born. It is crazy how quickly babies change! We did start trying bottles and she has done great! I think she just enjoys eating and doesn't really care where it comes from or how she gets it. I am so thankful for this because Brian and I are heading to Mexico in a couple months without our kids and I needed her to take a bottle.
We are slowly getting back into our normal routine and getting out more and more. I still am trying to be careful just with all the sickness going around. We have gone on a few walks, to Target, the park, and MOPS meetings. She has done great even if it does take us about 20 minutes to get loaded up and in the car :).
We love you so much Eisley and can't wait to watch you grow up!
Weight: 9lb 5oz (as of 2 weeks..not sure how much she weighs now)
Food: Breastfeeding every 3 hours during the day and 3-4 hours at night. Typical feeding schedule is 6am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm, and 2am. She has reflux like her big brother did so she is taking medication twice a day for that and it seems to help.
Clothes: Newborn, 0-3 months, we already moved up to size 1 diapers
Likes: being held by her mommy (sweet but kills my back!!), sleeping in the swing, being in the k'tan, looking at the tv, being held and wrapped up in my robe.
Favorite Mommy Moment: I love having a little girl and seeing all the pink! It is so fun looking through her clothes even though she pretty much stays in pjs :).
Here are some pictures from our first month with Eisley!
