Mikayla 1 month

Mikayla is one month old.  At her check up she was 9lbs 4.5oz and was 20.5 inches long. (The 21 inches they measured at birth was incorrect at her 3 day old appointment they got a more accurate length of 19.5 inches.)

She is an interesting baby who seems to only want her mom. She refuses a pacifier and bottle, she doesn't like to be swaddled, and doesn't even like riding in the car seat. Thank goodness for smart phones and white noise apps! The white noise, being naked on her changing table bouncing/walking around and Metallica music seem to be the only ways to calm her. 

Hopefully as the weeks go by she will get better. I return to work this week and even though working from home I think I may have been optimistic when I thought I could take such little time off. Mom is here to help which I am very thankful for and Sean is enjoying.
