I honestly cannot believe I am writing her one month update already! Time sure does go by so fast!

Elyse is such a sweet, laid back baby. She rarely cries and is rarely unhappy. She is starting to have a bit more of a fussy time in the evenings, normal of course, but it really hasn’t been too bad at all. We have been blessed with such an easy baby during Jase’s crazy busy toddler season.

There is just something so special about having a little girl. I feel so entirely blessed to be the mom of a daughter and I cannot wait to see how our relationship blossoms over the years.

Little miss is starting to be awake more and more which I love! I love being able to see her eyes open and interact with her as she takes in the world around her. Currently her last feeding is at 10pm and she is asleep by 10:30/11 and sleeps until 3-4am and usually stretches again to 7-8am. I have been a lot more flexible on the schedule trying to decide what works best for us with Jase, but now that she is a month old I’ll be working with her a little more to get a bit more consistent throughout the day to see how it effects her nights. I am hoping it may even help her to be less fussy in the evenings. I have just been keeping her pretty close to me throughout the day with her reflux and projectile vomiting issues because having her out of my sight made me nervous. Thankfully she has been doing so much better so I have begun to have her take naps in the crib in her room. She sleeps better in there anyways since her noisy brother isn’t in there to wake her.

Elyse does so good being tolerant of her big brother. He loves to pat (more like smack) her on the head and tell her “eh otay, eh otay” when she’s crying and often gives (shoves) her pacifier in her mouth when she’s upset. He insists on her always having her “bankie” and “dabi” (blanket and pacifier) near by. She is so sweet and doesn’t even react. I am actually pretty sure she doesn’t know what to do when the house is quiet and her brother isn’t running around making lots of noise.

I am so blessed by this first month of being a mom of two, I cannot wait for many more to come.
