One month old!

Eva is 1 month old!

Weight - about 8lbs (measured on my kitchen scale, hehe)
Height - at least 20 inches

Clothes - newborn, 3 month outfits are still way too big for the princess!
Diapers - newborn disposeables and the smallest setting for cloth
Sleep - the nighttime sleeping part is good, she is now going 3-4 hours, with the occasional 4+ stretch thrown in. This mommy likes only having to get up once or twice at night!
Eating - every 1-4+ hours, I'm guessing she's going through a growth spurt because she's gotten a lot crankier lately and will occasionally want to eat an hour after having been fed! We've also started the occasional bottle and she's taking about 2.5oz of milk in a feeding. 

Likes - snuggles, singing, being held, mommy's boobs :P
Dislikes - being disrobed, sleeping in her crib (thank you for the Rock n Play, Uncle Mikey and Aunt Jen!)
New tricks - pooping as soon as you get a clean diaper on her, hence earning the nickname Princess Poopy-pants! Also, Eva can wiggle all the way off her play mat if she is not wearing a footed outfit!

2 weeks old!

Eva is 2 weeks old!


Weight - 7lb 2oz (14th percentile)
Height - 19 1/2 inches (16th percentile)
Clothes - newborn, I think we will able to get a good amount of wear out of our newborn wardrobe! 
Diapers - newborn size diapers when she's in disposables (overnight and when we take her out), otherwise she's on the lowest snap setting in cloth diapers 
Sleep - I am lucky to have such a good little sleeper. Unlike Ethan, Eva nurses fast (15-20 minutes) at night and goes back to sleep afterwards. Occasionally there is a poopy diaper change thrown in there, but she still sleeps like a charm. She wakes up to feed every 2-3 hours at night. We are also lucky that she never had the day-night confusion that many babies have!
Eating - took to nursing like a pro :) She usually wants to eat every 2-3 hours, occasionally she'll want to be fed again an hour after eating, or she'll even go 4 hours between feedings.
Likes - snuggling with mommy, daddy and Ethan, feeding, songs, playing silly games with mommy
Dislikes - tummy time, bath time, diaper time, not being the center of attention
