One month old

Your first month, much like my entire pregnancy with you, has been a whirlwind! We weren't expecting you for another 3 weeks, but you, my little party girl wanted to enjoy the holidays with everyone- and enjoy them you did! Despite having lots of people around, you and your big sister were SO well behaved! You were able to sleep through our family craziness and everyone was so happy to finally get to meet you and hold you.

You were born a teeny tiny thing at less than 6 pounds,  but at your one month checkup you weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds! Your doctor called your weight gain miraculous, and I'm so glad we got the hang of nursing so easily.

What made your first month infinitely easier and more fun was having daddy home with us. Being the middle of winter we were all pretty much house bound, but it was really nice to rest and recover in what felt like our own little desert island. He was such a huge help especially with Olivia, they developed their own routines and gave me the much needed time to tend to you (mostly your feedings, of which you did alot, hence the awesome weight gain!) So keep growing little one, but not too fast, I want to enjoy your sweet babyhood for as long as I can!

**Thank you to cousin Sebastian for sharing your monthly stickers and saving me from having to make my ghetto construction paper monthly posters!
