Makena's one month check up was on November 1st. She is gaining weight like a champ! She already weighs 9lb 2.5oz and is up to 20 1/4 inches long. We are quickly phasing out the newborn clothes and moving into the 0-3 month size. A big contrast from her big sister. The jaundice is all gone and she is doing well medically.
Makena is starting to be awake and alert more during the day. We are looking forward to all of her upcoming baby milestones!
Makena celebrated her first Halloween this past weekend. We got her a witch onesie to match the costumes Melia and Molly had. She didn't need a "real" costume since she spent the entire night being carried by mommy! Melia loved dressing up in her witch costume. She loved trick or treating too! Really, I think she just loved that mommy let her have some candy. I gave her some fruit snacks and one lollipop. The rest of the candy we got rid of. The good thing about trick or treating at this age is that the candy really is out of sight, out of mind.
I am still on maternity leave from the Cancer Society, but have started working at the studio a few days a week. We are looking forward to our upcoming trip to Michigan for Thanksgiving and our first family vacation in December!
