One month old

I know people say it all the time, but time flies! Shelby is one month old today and her looks are changing daily! She's really starting to loose her hair on top. I'm afraid she's going to look like an old man pretty soon since its falling out so fast on top and not on the sides or back! It's pretty clear that she's going to have dark eyes, not sure what color, but i don't think they will be blue like Mitchell's.
Around 3 weeks of age Shelby became really fussy, starting spitting up, and was uncomfortable after just about every feeding, so last Saturday we went to the doctor. I had been looking online and it seemed she had most of the symptoms of reflux, so after telling the doctor all of her symptoms she prescribed Zantac. She said it could take up to a week for it to start working. About 4 days after she started it, she was feeling lots better. Before the medicine right after her bottles she would be fussy-sometimes on and off for about 3 hours, but since the medicine has started working she's a completely different baby. Mommy and Daddy are very thankful that this only last for about a week!
Her sleeping patterns are still about the same, but she's staying awake a little longer now. Last night she was awake for over 3 hours at moms. She has lots of entertainment from the rowdy boys! We are still sleeping on the couch though. Getting her in the crib for longer than an hour at a time will be our next goal!
Here are a few pictures that mom took last night. She's really putting weight on now! We took a few more today, so I'll get those posted once mom sends them to me!

I am so glad she is feeling better...poor baby! If it makes you feel any better- Emmy is still in her pack and play in our room. She still gets up to eat, and I am worried she will wake Cade (his room is next door). She is precious, and looks like she may have John's eyes!

Soooo sweet! I'm hoping I can get up there this weekend to see her! She has changed sooo much. Hope she's feeling better!
