1 month

Ack, I can no longer count my baby in weeks. It isn't really fair that they have to grow up so quickly. She is already learning and doing so much. In her short month she has had more visitors than I can count, received a lot of kisses and much petting of her hair! She has gotten a ton of cuddles and has made many people laugh and smile. She is such a doll and we are more in love each day.


According to our unofficial home scale, she is already 10lbs. She has sadly grown out of her teeny tiny newborn clothes and is on to her 3month ones. Her hair is still dark and there is more dark hair coming in. She lost her umbilical cord around 2 weeks and is on to the next size up in diapers, although still blows out of those on occasion!

She is so strong and will lift her head up on her arms so she can look us in the eye. She loves making eye contact and doesn't like being ignored. She is always good for a fun conversation. And although I have had to catch it on camera, she has smiled many times when being talked to and cooed at.

She has already taken a plane ride to the east coast to meet lots of extended family. She was the perfect traveler and just slept and ate. She sleeps a lot, but certainly likes to be held. The Moby wrap is a friend of mine as it makes it so much easier to just hold her close. She sleeps at night really well too. Falling asleep about 10-11pm and sleeping until around 5-6 or so to eat and then out again until 9ish. Not so bad! Then she is up most of the morning, sleeps all afternoon and then is up in the evening. Her only real cranky time is in the evening.

We've had a fabulous first month!
