Alethea had her one month check-up today.  Her current stats are: Weight 11 lbs 14 oz, Height 22 1/2 inches, Head Circumference 16 inches.  That puts her in the 90th percentile for height, and off the charts for weight and head size.  I have a big baby!

Alethea continues to interact with us more and more.  She has an extremely cute dimpled smile and when we were playing the other day she chuckled at me when I “beeped” her nose with my finger.  She has not rolled over again since that other day, although sometimes it looks like she’s really trying.  Maybe it was a one time accident that won’t repeat itself for a while.

On the schedule front, we seem to be getting into a better rhythm of eating/sleeping which definitely helps me plan out my day and seems to help Alethea sleep at night.  She does sometimes sleep in her crib, but will still generally awake after a half hour or so.  The pediatrician said today that even though she doesn’t have projectile spit-up, she may have some reflux, which would explain why she will sleep for 3-5 hours at a time if she’s in her swing or car seat since those keep her head up above her stomach.  Last night Alethea slept for 1 1/2 hours in her crib and then started crying.  I moved her to her car seat and she slept for 3 1/2 more hours!  I could get used to getting that much sleep at night!

That’s all for the Alethea update today.  I’ve got several ideas for other posts, so stop by later this week for more to read!
