Right now she basically sleeps when she wants, typically her longest sleep is in the afternoon some days 4 to 5 hours. I have always struggled with what to do over the day when babies are sleeping do you wake them to feed them so they sleep more at night? Or follow the never wake a sleeping baby? Right now we are doing the latter, maybe come fall we will try the waking up but in my experience only makes for a cranky baby.
Abigail is definitely getting bigger and outgrew newborn diapers and is filling out the 0-3 month sleepers.
Will and Madelyn are so good with Abigail. They love to kiss her, snuggle her and basically be in her face way too much!
There are some definite some pros to a summer baby. It is easier to get out, don't need to worry about warming vehicles up, blankets etc. You as not as concerned about colds and flus and baby getting sick. Have longer days so sleep deprivation is not as bad as you have sunshine to brighten your day. Of course there are cons too. You still cannot take a baby out all day and you don't feel like being out all day so you miss out on some of the summer fun, trips to the pool etc.
With that being said Abigail has been to a lot of things in her first month. The library a few times, the Queen City exhibition parade, both farms, watching her big brother and sister and cousins at swimming lessons, many trips to the park and several trips to the store, out for ice cream and supper.
Today I asked Will if he liked our family better now that Abigail was here or if he liked it before with just Madelyn as his only sister. He said he likes our family now better, because Abigail is a nice baby.
Madelyn is always very concerned that we do not forget Abigail and always makes sure we bring her home with us.
