One month old

You are one month old today Miss Pickles!
Time has flown.

Here are a few highlights from your first month of life:

  • You dislike being on your tummy and demonstrated this by rolling yourself back over to your back (I think we're in trouble!).
  • You had your first cold (everyone in the house was sick).
  • Your dairy and soy protein intolerance (knowns as MSPI) was discovered and brought many dietary changes for your mama so we could try and curb your projectile vomiting and discomfort.
  • You are a sleeper, waking only a couple of times per night (thank you baby gods!).
  • You are also very relaxed and generally happy (unless your MSPI is acting up, then you're cranky, and rightfully so!).
  • You met your Nana for the first time and she is here helping out with you girls while your Papi is away in the jungle.
  • I asked your sister if she wanted to exchange you or take you back. She said no that she wanted to keep you, so I guess you're sticking around for a while... and your sister must love you quite a bit!
  • We have gone on many outings, but your first outing was to meet your pediatrician, Dr. Loyola. She is fantastic. You will like her as much as Kehsa does.
  • Your first non-doctor outing was to your Abuela's house and then to the park so your big sis could play outside for a while. You have also ventured to the grocery store several times, to a street festival, and the Russian Circus.
  • We think you are going to have blue eyes, leaving your Papi as the only boy and the only non blue eyed person in our family.
  • You have met most of our friends and immediate family here in Cuenca. You have met your Grandpa, Uncle BJ, Kelly, and Tio Nano via Skype.
  • You gained one full kilo (2.2 pounds) this month, bringing your total weight to around 3.8 kilos (8.3 pounds).


You are more beautiful every day. We can't wait to see what comes next. We love you!
Mommy, Papi, and Kesha
