1 month

So I'm a few days behind on posting this - but my excuse is that I never have time in the mornings {I value sleep a little more than updating my blog} and I really shouldn't update this in the afternoons {we have limited internet but it doesn't get counted in our allotment if we use it before noon}. Kind of confusing probably, since I can't describe my excuse very well. I blame lack of sleep {it's certainly not lack of knowledge ;)!}.

Anywho, our sweet baby just met her first month mark on Monday. I can't believe it's already been over a month since she was born into this world and officially joined our family. She is such a joy and we love her so much!


Her stats:
8 lbs, 14 oz
gained over a pound since birth {which is good, because I was worried for a while about her gaining weight}
21.5 inches long
our long, skinny baby {she has several pieces of clothing that don't really fit her very well because she's just long and thin}
75th percentile for both
right on track

She actually does really well with tummy time

One of my favorite things lately:
She's started smiling at me occasionally. It just brightens my whole day when she gives me a great big smile. Usually, it's right after she's eaten and I'm convinced she's giving me a "thanks, mom" smile! :)

My little "helper"

I also love:
sometimes in her sleep she'll smile one of those great big smiles and then make these little guttural noises that sound a bit like she's laughing. I love it!
