Aria is one month old!



Baby stats

Sleep: Aria wakes up every 2-3hrs still morning and night. Neil watches her 8-11/12 and from there she wakes up around 3am and 5/6 for feeds. If it wasn't for that early nap id be pretty tired. I don't nap well during the day and by 5pm I'm tapped out. 

Feed: she has been cluster feeding more in later afternoon/evening but usually every 2ish hours. She lets me know otherwise 😁

Daily Routine: no set routine yet as it depends on the day if the week. My favourite are days it's just her and I so we can lounge. Play dress up. Have naps. Lol she likes to sleep on me or on the fuzzy blanket on the couch during the day. 

Weight: 8lb 9oz (as of 26days old)

Length: 21in 

Diaper size: newborn 

Clothing size: newborn but they are getting shorter. A few she has grown out of already.  I remember when she first came home they were swimming on her. I am looking forward to her 0-3m wardrobe hehe. 

Hair Color: medium brown (seems to be a bit lighter than when she was born)

Eye Color: looks like they will be dark brown 

Baby favs: play mat, music/nursery rhymes, her brother, looking around

Baby not so favs: baths, wiping her face, being hangry, soother falling out, left boob lol, car seat when car stops moving 

Challenges: left boob has a quick let down and she hates it lol.. Boob vs Aria Aria 0-1
- days with both her and Dax. Trying to make Dax a priority but I find I get short tempered with him. Glad he has daycare a few days a week with his buddies. 

Funniest moment: blow out! Lol huuuge blow out when I was wearing her in the wrap one morning cooking breakfast. Splattered on the floor haha. So gross!

Milestones:
- takes a bottle 


Firsts:
- first road trip 
- she's starting to smile other than when she's sleeping. Just here and there but so cute!

Events in the past month:
- road trip to Vic for photos
- my birthday 
- Easter with the family 

Looking forward to:
- summer!! Sunny weather every day ☀️☀️
- dressing her in all her cute clothes coming up 

Sleeping with dad 

Happy Easter!

Aria is 4 weeks old!!

I can't believe she is 4 weeks already! It has been a long four weeks in some ways, trying to balance her and her brother. But I'm still surprised how fast it has gone by. She is such a sweet little lady. 
"Who's that lady? She is the cutest little baby! And we love her like crazy, she is as cute as can be" that's her little song Dax and I sing. 

We have been adjusting to being at home (Dax, her and I). It is definitely a more relaxing day when I just have Aria but Dax can be helpful (when he wants to be). I try to do my running around and appts on days I have just Aria. But we did have daxs preschool meeting on a day I had both littles and we managed ok!

We've had some play dates (for Dax and myself) and walked to the park. The weather has been nice and pretty warm lately so it is nice to get out and enjoy. Aria was weighed in two days ago and weighed in at 8lbs 9 oz! Which was amazing because week 3 she was only 7-7. I think with her being over her cold she is making up for lost time. So I'm hoping she will sleep longer soon as well 😉 would love more than three hours in a row! Haha she is more awake now for periods during the day so I know it's coming. And love when we get to smiles!! I know more of those are coming too.. But not wishing away time as she is already growing so fast. Will do an official up date at her one month 😊
