One Month Old

Sweet baby girl, you are one month old today! It is so hard to believe as the time has flown by. It has been so busy at our house as we adjust to being a family of five, but your Daddy and I are enjoying every moment!

You are growing so quickly and were already 8 lbs 10 oz at the doctor two weeks ago. In his words, you are "thriving"! You eat every 3 hours like clockwork, except at night, when you sleep so well and usually only wake up once to eat. You are already becoming attached to your paci and love being swaddled as tightly as possible. Now that you can have real baths, you love to soak in the warm water. Your big brothers are fascinated by you and love to point out everything you are doing. Ben is especially fond of you and although McLean has taken a little bit longer to adjust, I know he loves his little sister.

The day after you were born, your Nonna, Pops, Aunt Paige and cousin Piper came to meet you and the next day your Mimi and Granddaddy arrived. It has been such a blessing to have your Nonna and later your Aunt Patty stay with us to help out. They have kept your big brothers busy and Mommy has cherished the one on one time that we have been able to share.

On Saturday, you made your first road trip all the way to South Carolina. It was a long 15 hour drive, but you did such a great job! I am so excited to introduce you to our family and friends!

We love you so much baby girl and are so thankful to have you as part of our family!

Bath time makes baby girl so happy!
