Anna Kate has been such a good little baby! She seems to be growing like a weed. She is already in size one diapers and there are a few newborn outfits that are too little for her. At her 1 month checkup, she weighed 10 pounds and 2 ounces, and the doctor said that she looked great. She had to get a shot, but it didn't take her long to get over it. Right now she has a little bit of a stuffy nose but hasn't had a fever at all. Hopefully it will go away soon and she will feel better. She has been having a lot more awake time during the day. She smiles all the time and is starting to coo. She seems to really like laying on the changing table and looking at the painting that is hanging over it. Sometimes she will lay on her playmat and look at the toys on it or the mobile, but she prefers to be held. And of course she wants you to be standing. She is really good at holding her head up and likes to stand in your lap and bounce. Luckily she is good about being in the front carrier because sometimes that is the only way I can get things done with two hands! She sleeps pretty good at night. She will usually have one 4-5 hour stretch but otherwise its usually every three. One night she slept for almost six hours-on my chest though! I didn't sleep very good because I kept waking up to check on her but I was too afraid that she would wake up if I moved her. The hardest part is just getting her to go to sleep initially. She seems to like staying up late. Tristan has been a very helpful big brother. He likes to talk to her and wash her tummy when she gets a bath. The only thing he doesn't like me to do is hum to Anna Kate. He says I can only hum to him. Otherwise he hasn't really showed any jealousy. Hopefully it will stay that way!
