Liesl is a month old, and I feel like we're starting to get a sense of what she'll be like. She's a pretty calm and happy baby, for the most part. The only days she's been really fussy have been the day after Thanksgiving (probably too much stimulation the day before) and the day I had a large cup of strong coffee in the morning (still no caffeine for mama). She has started sleeping pretty solidly at night, going down at 8, waking up to eat at midnight and 4am, and then for the day at 7. So I'm doing fairly well with sleep as well. She hates to be cold. She loves to lie on her belly and would sleep on her tummy if we let her. She has just started to focus on our faces and smile at us, and it's adorable.
We had our check-up today, and she measured 21 inches long and weighed 9 lbs 9 oz. That puts her in the 50th percentile for height and weight.
Sebastian continues to be a good and sweet big brother. He is fascinated by her diaper changes, mostly because she so often poops on the changing table and he loves the mess. When Liesl cries, he says "it's okay, Liesl, mommy and Sebastian are here." He loves to hug her and lie down next to her and push her stroller around. He tried to feed her from his belly - got all set up on the couch with my nursing pillow and lifted up his shirt and insisted we bring her over to him. He gets a little sad when I can't play with him, but it's usually fleeting.
