One Month Old & Dance Class for the Big Girls

Alyssa is one month old today! She is doing great! She had a weight check at the doctor today and weighed in at 9 lbs 11 oz. They said that she is gaining and growing perfectly. She is in the 50-75th percentile.
Last night, she slept from 11:00 until 5:00. It was fantastic and worked out great with the big girls schedule so I hope she keeps it up. She sleeps in her crib while we walk the big girls to the bus stop in the mornings and we keep an eye on her with the monitor. But she goes with Mommy to meet the bus in the afternoons. All of the kids love seeing her as soon as they get off the bus, especially her big sisters.
She is sleeping in her crib more and sleeps great in there since it is dark and quiet. She looks so little in that big crib. She does not like her car seat much but loves when Mommy carries her in the baby carrier. She is starting to really like her paci, which is both good news and bad. Overall, she is a calm and happy baby and we LOVE her so much!


Besides school starting this week, the big girls also started their first real dance class. They are taking a one hour dance class once a week. They will learn both ballet and tap dance and will have a recital in May. Can't wait for that! We had to buy real dance clothes and shoes. Amelia and Isabel had so much fun and can't wait to go back next week.


Finally, the second day of school went well! Amelia said that it was better than the first day. They wanted their pictures taken again this morning before we left the house so I thought that I would share. They looked so grown up.
