Molly's One Month Checkup

I took Molly for her one month check up yesterday. It is hard to imagine that she is a month already. She is doing really well and her doctor said everything looks great. Here are her stats:

Weight - 8 lbs. 13 ounces (45%)
Length - 21 inches (45%)
Head - 14 inches (10-25%)

She is still such a small little thing. She is still in newborn clothes and newborn diapers. The newborn clothes say they go up to 8 lbs. but she is still fitting them good. I am sure she will be in 3 month clothes in no time.

I have officially started her on formula and she is adjusting pretty well. She was still a little jaundice last week but once we started her on the formula, it has seemed to help with her coloring. She is definitely more awake now and there is more crying than before, but she is still such a good baby. I can't quite decide if she wants a pacifier or not. It is almost like she looks for it, but then when I try and give it to her, it is not what she wants. We will see how that goes. She is eating 3 1/2 ounces every three hours during the day, and every 4 at night. She does really well most nights, just waking up to eat and going right back down in the crib, but we have had a few nights that she has cried and not wanted to go back to sleep. But, all is good! :) Here are some recent pics of her....
Brody is doing great as well. He has pretty much adjusted to Molly's existence in the house at this point. I am sure as the days and months go on, we will experience more adjusting but right now, all is good in that department. We have also started to take the pacifier away and he is doing amazingly well. Right now, the only time he gets it is for naps and at bedtime and he knows that he can only get it when he is in his crib. He did regress a little when Molly first came home, but he is doing really well now and has only asked for it a couple times in the last week or so. I am extremely proud of him.

The next transition is to the big boy bed, but not sure when that will happen. He is still throwing everything out of this crib in the morning and screaming for us to come get him. I know the only thing that will probably break him from this is to let him cry it out, but honestly, I worry about him waking up Molly. So we have been enablers and gone in there, given him his stuff back, and turned the TV on until it is time to get up. I am embarrassed to say that is what we do, but I am hoping this is just a phase and this will stop soon. Here are a few pictures of him from the last week or so......he is such a little boy now!

Here he is getting ready to go to school....

He was looking at the family calendar and naming all the family members...he did so good!

Here he is sitting in Molly's swing. I was telling him to get out as I was taking the picture. Talk about mixed messages! :)

Playing with Brandon in the playroom.

Not sure what was going on here, but he walked out of his playroom like this....

Watching football with Pop-Pop. He is sitting in Molly's infant swing, which was his and he hated sitting in it when he was a baby.

Walking around with his hands in his pockets....which he just started doing a couple weeks ago.

I had to post this video of him and Ted. He loves imitating Daddy and Ted was walking around with his hands in his pockets and humming, and Brody started doing the same thing. Talk about a mini-me. I hope you can hear him humming...it was hilarious!
