Stats, month 1

This little sweetie:

 

is not a fan of doctor appointments!  She does not like to have her clothes off and she does not like anyone messing with her when she's sleeping.  She started crying so hard at one point that the doctor had to leave the room and let me nurse her, so she would calm down.  Luckily, Olivia was at school during this appointment- she is not a fan of hearing Paige cry.  She tries to help- mainly by sticking her face right in Paige's, saying "Shh, shh, sister's here."  Not usually something that calms little sister! 
Paige is doing great!  She weighed in at 8 pounds, 2 ounces and 20 inches long.  She gained 2 pounds in a month- girl likes to eat!  She is in the 20th percentile for now.  Funny, she looks so big to me, but that is the same size as many newborns!  We'll see how she grows from here. 
She has an ultrasound in the morning to check her kidneys.  She was born with a 2 vessel umbilical cord (there should be 3).  This sometimes points to kidney problems, so her doctor wanted to get an ultrasound to be on the safe side.  Should be fun, ha!

Still working with Olivia on being gentle with her sister.  Paige gets the funniest look on her face when Olivia is around.  It's like she can't decide if she's fascinated or terrified:

 

 

She still loves holding her, but isn't great about supporting her head:

 

 

Which leads to Paige crying and this:

 

 

 

 

Which leads to more crying!

 

Michael has been great about making Olivia feel special- trips to Wal- Mart and dinner with just the 2 of them.  I am not going many places (ha!), but still trying to give her attention when we're home alone.  Lately, she's mostly wanted to make cookies (I am never going to lose this baby weight!).  She loves to help mix and has been asking to break the eggs recently.  I finally let her and this is what happened:

 





Those cookies might have had a little extra crunch!

 

It was probably gas, but I did get a smile yesterday:

 

 



 

And a dimple picture:

 



I adore this baby!
