You are one month old today. I absolutely cannot believe you have been here for a month. The expression is true - time flies! Words cannot express how much you have stolen my heart and your dad's heart. We are head over heals in love with you and each day we spend with you, we just love you more and more. I check on you all night to make sure you are breathing, and warm, and happy; and after I have checked a million times, I send your dad to check. Yes, we have a baby monitor, but who really trusts that? Not me. :)
Not only are we totally in love with you but so are your grandparents, great grandmother, your two uncles, your aunt, and so many more people. You have had a lot of visitors this month and received a lot of gifts from people very far away that couldn't make the trip.
This week you have started to smile at us and even talk to us a little. Every morning you wake up with a little cry to let us know you are ready to eat but then you are happy, happy, happy. We are so blessed that you are such a happy little girl. You like to be held up high and look around at everything that is going on. You also like to lay on your changing table and kick your legs.
You are back to your birth weight: 9 pounds, 14 ounces and you are now 21.5 inches long (the doctor told us you were 20 inches when we took you in at 5 days). You wear a size 1 diaper and 3 month clothes. You love to wear bows in your hair. This month you wore mittens before I could cut your finger nails. You love your pacifier and like to hold it and wave it in the air. We started tummy time two weeks ago, sometimes you are a fan and sometimes you cry 30 seconds in.
You have started to enjoy your baths but you do not like getting dried off. We have moved your baby tub into our big tub and seem to enjoy that more. You sleep in your room every night and nap in your pack and play in the living room.
You eat 4 ounces, 5 times a day. 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, and 10pm. After your 10pm bottle, you sleep until 6am. Daddy and I love that! You go back to sleep after your 6am bottle until 10am and then you are up most of the day. You may take a short nap after 10am or 2pm but not more than 1 hour.
You have grown so much this month and met so many people. We love you Elizabeth. More than you will ever know.
Love,
Mom
