Keeping Up With The Wigleys: Happy 1 Month, Laney Claire!

Laney Claire, you turned 1 month old on December 4th! This first month has been such a joy. I forgot how wonderful it is to snuggle up to a new baby. Here a few tidbits on your first month:

You are a great nurser! This is so encouraging to me! You eat every 3 hours.
You sleep ALOT...during the day. Not so much at night. Daddy and I are being patient though. We know you will get into a routine soon.
You were so pleasant on Thanksgiving. We traveled to Douglas to see Daddy's side of the family, and then back to Gadsden for my side. You did great.
When we left the hospital, you had dropped down to 6lbs, when we went for your one month check up you had gained 3 LBS!!! I was so proud of you!
You were 21 inches long.
You cried just a little during your first bath at home, but have not shed a tear since. You love when Daddy washes your hair!
Miller loves you so much. He is sure to let me know when he thinks you need to eat or need a diaper change. He wants to hold you all of the time, every day.
You have stolen all of our hearts in just 4 short weeks. We love you so very much and cannot imagine our lives without you in it.

Miller has also done a lot of growing up since bringing his baby sister home from the hospital. While you hear of many children regressing when a new sibling is born, that was not the case with Miller. He has definitely progressed. Here are a few tidbits on the big brother:

He now bathes himself
Brushes his teeth (both with supervision, of course)
Dresses himself, and loves to pick out his own clothes.
He helps me pack his lunch.
He hates to go to the doctor, and a few times we have caught him not telling us when he feels bad, because he is afraid he will have to get a shot. We are working on learning that you do not have to get a shot every time you go to the doctor.
He knows and can recognize every letter in the alphabet. And numbers 1-10.
He is doing really well at writing his name.
His most common question to ask right now is, "How old are you?"
Many times we hear him just spouting off random numbers to himself...We hope this means he will be a math genius :)
He loves to help Daddy give Laney Claire a bath.
He has deemed his job to take the dirty diapers to the Diaper Champ.
Miller loves to wear anything that says "Big Brother" on it. He is so in love!
We are so proud of our big boy. He never ceases to amaze us with the silly things that he comes up with. He has the biggest heart of any 4 year old I've ever met. We love you Miller!
