4 Week/1 Month Doctor Visit


Last Wednesday Madelyn had her 1 month doctors visit. She weighed 9 lb 1 oz and was 22 inches long. She is in the 50% for weight and 95% for height. She had to have her belly button zapped again but this should be the last time. Unless we have a problem we don't go back to the doctor until she is 2 months and at that time she will have some of her shots. She always does so well at the doctor and the doctor said that she was impressed with the fact that Madelyn has never cried during one of her visits or while having her belly button zapped. She told us to increase Madelyn to 4 oz a feeding. When we left I was a little sad, I have gotten used to going to see Dr. Ferrel once a week. :)
At 1 month Madelyn has changed so much! She is staying awake for long periods of time and is so alert and aware of her surroundings. She is holding her head well and will follow things with her eyes. She has started smiling which we love! She eats every 4-5 hours and sleeps very well at night. She usually goes to bed between 10:30-11:00 and gets up at around 3:30-4:00 and then gets up for the day around 9:00. She is an extremely content baby and only cries during baths and when she has been in her car seat to long. We know we are so lucky and blessed and love each day with her.
