Little Levine: Hadley is One Month Old!

Hadley has grown and changed so much over the past month! She's been interacting with us more, and has started to smile. I tear up every time she smiles at us...especially when she gives Brett a big grin when he gets home from work.

She is still such a good baby and only cries a few times a day. She LOVES to eat and would do so all day if she could. At night she usually sleeps a 5 hour stretch followed by two 2-hour stretches. That means mommy goes to bed at 7pm with her every night in order to take advantage of the first long stretch. We are working on having her take naps in her crib, and are hoping to make the transition from bassinet in our room to the crib in her room within a month or two. She is one noisy sleeper, squeaking, yelling and cooing throughout the night.

Hadley's One Month Stats:

Sleeps: about 16 hours a day
Eats: about 8 times a day
Weight: At her two week appointment she was up to 8 pounds 8 oz which is the 53rd percentile for weight. I tried weighing her on our bathroom scale a few days ago, first weighing myself with her, and then myself without her. According to that she's now 9 and a half pounds.
Height: 21 inches...she is in the 74th percentile for height. I'm not sure where she got her tall genes. She is too tall for newborn clothes, but too skinny for 0-3 month clothes.
