Weight: 7.8 poundsDiapers: Newborn
Clothes: Newborn
Sleeping: She is probably our best newborn nighttime sleeper. She sleeps in a Mory June bag (a type of Moses basket) at night. We feed her before we go to sleep, and then she wakes up twice a night to eat. We haven't had any trouble at all getting her to sleep at night, and that has been a huge blessing. No nights spent rocking her, walking around the house, or letting her sleep in the swing. During the day she sleeps wherever is convenient- being held, the couch, her swing.
Eating: She eats 2-3 ounces of formula at a time. She usually drinks only 2 ounces in the mornings, but later in the afternoons and through the night she will drink up to 3 ounces.
Milestones: First 4th of July. She has started to be awake for longer periods of time. Some of her awake periods are really long for her age, but she always falls asleep before she acts overtired.
Likes: being swaddled, itsy ritzy brand binkies, white noise
Dislikes: hiccups- at least half of the time she gets the hiccups about 15 minutes or so after she eats
The kids were so ready and excited to meet their new sister when we got home from the hospital.
The second we stepped out of the truck, the girls were right there looking at and helping with Oaklee.
Hudson thinks she's so cute, but mostly goes about his normal day. He's been there done this new baby thing before
Ella is obsessed with her and asks to hold her all the time.
Avery is more or less indifferent to her. She doesn't seem jealous at all. She thinks that she has to make sure that Oaklee has her binky at all times. Avery often wakes Oaklee up by trying to put a binky in her mouth.
First time holding Oaklee
Oaklee and her cousin, Chloe.
They are exactly 1 month apart!

Hudson has been so sweet with her and always wants to share his special elephant with her.
He even let her sleep with it all night long one night just because he wanted her to have it.
As evidenced by the following pictures, Oaklee has no shortage of people who want to hold her all the time
Haylin and Jovi.
Little Jovi is absolutely baby obsessed, so seeing her with a real baby has been adorable and only slightly terrifying haha.
I set Hudson and Ella up with a show, put Oaklee in the swing, and then went to get in the shower.
Before I could even get in I heard Oaklee crying. I opened the bathroom door a few seconds later to see Ella sitting on the bed holding Oaklee. I was so shocked because that was absolutely not where I left the baby. Then we got to have a discussion about how we shouldn't pick up the baby without help from a grown up.
