One Month Old

Baby Girl:

You are getting so big! I love to see you grow, but it breaks my heart at the same time. I could hold you, cuddle you, and rock you forever! You have completely captured our hearts and we are so glad you are ours! You have such a sweet little personality. After you are done eating you just look around contently and seem so happy. You also love to stare at faces very intently, and pull the cutest faces yourself. You love to curl your little lips into an "o" and open your eyes really wide at us, and then immediately after you give us a little smile! You love, love, love to be held and cuddled tight, so I swaddle you up and hold you close and then you are in heaven! When you decide you are hungary or uncomfortable in any way you sure let us know! You might be a tad bit impatient, but both your parents are too! We are working on you learning how to put yourself to sleep without being held all the time. I dont blame you for loving to be held when you to go to sleep, I would like it too. There is always someone over that wants to hold you, but you are doing great and learning to fall asleep on your own! You love to sleep on your side with your little cheek touching something, and I think you get it from your mama! You absolutely love bath time and story time. Everytime we put you in the bath, you dip your little right leg into the water and relax, and it is so funny! You also love driving in the car (of course) and also when I have the blow dryer on. You love to sleep on daddys chest in the morning and watch the today show in bed with us! It truly is the best time of the day! You also love music! I put on your little piano portraits lullaby cd and you are in heaven again! It immediately calms you down, which is such a blessing. I hope one day you realize you do have a name and its not just "baby", because I think daddy and I have only called you by Elsie or Elle maybe like five times. But....... you are just OUR baby! It fits you perfectly! We love you so much little girl and we are so happy you are here. You bring such a sweet spirit into our home! You're our little beauty!

xoxo Mama and Daddy
