4 Weeks old today!

Molly is 4 weeks old today! I can hardly believe it! Time is precious these days, so I will quickly post some things that Molly is doing now...

  • Beginning to outgrow some of her newborn clothes in length. She is a skinny little one but long!!!
  • Has a cute little belly button that is finally healed.
  • Weighed 7 lb. 6 oz. at her two week appointment.
  • Was 20 and 1/4 inches when we measured her this weekend.
  • Is holding her head up for longer periods of time.
  • Is pulling her entire upper body off of your chest when she is laying on her stomach.
  • Tries to roll all the way over when laying on her back. She can already easily roll to her sides and has been for a few weeks.
  • Had to move up to size 2 nipples yesterday. (We probably should have done this sooner but mom just figured it out...)
  • Eats 3-4 ounces of formula regularly at about 3 hour intervals. Sometimes sooner if she is too lazy to wake fully at a feeding.
  • Stays awake from one feeding to the next with just a cat nap at least twice a day.
  • Tries to hold her own bottle.
  • Has quite a grip!!!
  • Makes eye contact regularly and focuses in on objects.
  • Responds to voices, at least mom and dad's.

I am sure I am forgetting something, but that is all I can remember! I wish I could put sleeping more than 3 hours at night, but unfortunately, we are still working on that one!!! Molly is getting so big so fast and I am just trying to enjoy as much as possible!!!
