Karsyn is a MONTH already

So, it's really hard keeping up with this thing with 3 kids. I can't imagine what it will be like when I'm back at work.
I can not believe our baby girl is ONE MONTH old already. (Technically she is 1.5 months now but when I took all of these pictures she was only a month)



Here are some things that happened in the first month:
-She slept non-stop for the first 4 days of her life. Literally. I could not wake her up to eat. It was a battle. When we went back for her 2 day check-up she had dropped to 6lbs 12oz. But it didn't take long for her to realize she wanted to eat.
-Early on she ate about every 3/4 hours day and night. As the month went on she started eating every 2/3 hours during the day--sometimes stretching it to 4 hours but it's like clock work at night. She's up every 2 hours on the dot. Her schedule is typically midnight, 2, 4 and 6 or 7. She does got back to sleep after the 6/7 feeding but she has a big brother that's up about that time.
-She hates her diaper being changed. Screams.
-LOVES to be held and cuddled
-Smiles-especially when her sister is talking to her. I'm not sure if this is coincidence or if she's really smiling at Madison.
-She gets the hiccups A LOT. Almost every time she eats
-She has a lot of hair (well a lot for being my kid)
-She's been sleeping in our room in her pack and play and Trent has been on the couch. He can't stand to not have the fan on. I was feeling bad for him so I moved her down to her room on her one month birthday. :/ It actually works out better because Trent and Madison get ready in our bathroom in the morning and everyone coming in and out was waking her up. It was VERY HARD for me to move her out though.
-She's my walking baby. She likes to be held BUT she also likes to walk around.
-She's reaching for her butterflies on her chair
-She grabs things --rattles we put in her hand, hair, clothing etc.
-She's VERY alert when she's awake. She has been since the day she was born. If she's awake, her eyes are wide open and she's taking it all in.





Love that face! She does that when the camera flashes--it makes it hard to get a picture!






We are so thankful for another sweet, healthy baby. As crazy as it is having 3, I wouldn't trade it for anything! We love her so much and are so excited to see her grow and watch her little personality come to life. It will be interesting to see what she's like. Will she be quiet and shy like Madison or silly and a clown like Cooper? Maybe she'll be a mix of them both or something completely different. Either way, we are thankful and blessed by her! I just want to freeze frame time (maybe after she starts sleeping through the night) because they are all growing up way too fast!
