One Month with Baby Tuna!

I can't believe this little girl is already a month old! In some ways it feels like it's been a minute since Zoey was born, and in other ways it feels like so much longer (especially around 4:00am!).  She has changed so much in the last four weeks, and the Hubs and I get better at this parenting gig every day. At least we think we do. Usually.

What a difference a month makes!!!

Here are Baby Tuna's stats:

Weight: She was born at 8 lbs even, weighed 7 lbs 11 oz when she was discharged from the hospital,  and is now up to 9 lbs 4 oz. She still weighs a whole pound less than my brother did when he was born!
Length: She was born at 20.5 inches and is still 20.5 inches. I kinda find it hard to believe that she hasn't grown in length in the last month, but she also doesn't make it easy to measure her since her legs are always in motion.
Head: Her noggin measured 13 inches at birth and is now up to 14.5 inches. She has also developed a  Conan O'Brien hairstyle, making me really wish I had some sassy headbands to help tame that mane. Gotta hop on Etsy and order some ASAP! And btw. . . her hair isn't really red, as the photo suggests. It's brown.
Loves: Sleeping on mommy's or daddy's chest, gazing out the windows, staring at black and white animal cards, being held, listening to music (especially Mumford and Sons, mommy's favorite. We listen to them during our middle of the night feedings), sleeping with her arms near her face, and moving her legs around. . . constantly. She also doesn't seem to mind when Scout gets a whiff of her Burt's Bees honey lotion and starts licking her all over.
Hates: being put in her car seat, getting the hiccups, being taken out of a warm bath (the jury is still out on the bath itself), and being swaddled, probably because she can't sleep with her arms near her face.
Nicknames: Peanut, Boo Boo, Baby Tuna, Zo, Monkey, Fussy Butt.
Milestones: She is starting to control her neck muscles a little bit, and can push herself up for tummy time, but only for 20 seconds or so. And well, she sort of rolled over, well, halfway over. And she was sound asleep when she did it. Does that count?

This little girl has changed everything, in all the best ways. And although this week she has started screaming bouts that feel like they go on forever and there is no way to shut her up calm her down, and although her gas is unbelievable and makes her super crabby, and although, because of those two things, I may not get to leave the house until she's six months old, we still think she's pretty perfect. We melt every time she purses her lips in a little kiss, every time she smiles in her sleep, every time she chirps like a little chipmunk. 

Kissy face

How could you not love that smoosh-face?!

Mmmm... smells like honey!
