Julianne is a month old!!

Julianne just turned a month old on Monday the 13th. We can't believe how fast the time as gone and are amazed at her accomplishments and growth. She is more alert , she makes eye contact at short distances, scans the room and takes in all the sights and sounds, she moves a lot by flailing her arms around and kicks her little legs. Julianne makes the cutest faces when she's awake and asleep. I can spend the morning watching her sleep and watching the different facial expressions that she makes. So far she sleeps pretty well, she wakes about 2-3 times at night for a feeding, but its always about the same time and then she usually falls back to sleep. Her weight has been good, at birth she was 8lbs 8oz and then dropped to 7lbs 12oz at the hospital (we stayed 4 nights) then gradually 8 lbs 4oz, then at two weeks she weighed in at 9 lbs. I was a little worried about her weight from the start, because at the hospital they told me she was dehydrated and lost 8% of her weight, so it was pretty overwhelming to a first time mom, but we have overcome it and now at one month she weighs 9lbs 10.4oz ! She is a healthy Baby Girl !






10 days old!!









Opening Day! We'll try to forget they lost!!

Wow! I can't believe it's been a month. It sure does fly by, doesn't it? And that doesn't ever stop! Hey, and now she weighs ALMOST as much as Johnny did when he was born (that beast was 9 lbs. 13 ozs. OUCH!) Hope you're all doing well. :)
