1 Month Old

Kaleigh turned 1 month old on the Dec. 29 and it amazing how much she has changed in just one month. At first, she was not a big eater at all but now she eats about 3-4 oz every 2 1/2 hrs. As a result, we are switching her to formula a lot quicker than we expected. We estimate that she weighs about 10-11 lbs which means she has gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks. She has her 6 week check up soon so we will find out how much she has grown then.

Kya is still doing great with her. She is such a helpful big sister and is so careful with her sister. She is already trying to carry her by herself and wants to feed and burp her. So as of right now, we are still waiting for her to get jealous of her baby sister.

Here are few pictures from Kaleigh's first month. I am ashamed to say that I have yet to take Kaleigh's 1 month pictures yet. Maybe I will get them done next week before I have to go back to work. :)

2 Weeks Old

Well Im a couple days late but here is an update of how Kaleigh is doing.

She is a little over two weeks old now and is doing great. She had her first check up last Friday and is growing so fast. She was one ounce shy of her birth weight then but I know she is well past it now. She measured 20 1/4 inches at the doctors office even though she was 20 1/2 at birth.

The first couple weeks have gone well. Kaleigh is very laid back and sleeps a lot more than her sister did. She doesn't eat as much as Kya did either. I had to wake her up to eat for almost every feeding for about the first week but she is eating every 3 hours now. Will and I also gave her her first bath and she did not like it all. However, she is such a good baby...and I hope that doesn't change :)

As far as how Kya, she has been such a great big sister! She loves her little sister and is constantly saying how cute she is :) We just tell her that she should be because she looks just like Kya. Kya helps us with anything we ask her to and she even helped give Kaleigh a bath the other day. So far Kya is doing good with her and I hope that doesn't change either.
