1 month!

She is getting so long! I think she will be tall. :)This is her at 3 weeks with her dress on that Daddy bought her!
Wow, has it really been a month since I had this beautiful baby? She is so much fun!! I definitely can't imagine our lives without her. It feels like she has been part of our family forever. Every month I am going to write things about her so I remember each stage and what she is doing.

- She is SO strong. Really. She can hold her head up and locks her knees in place so she can stand (while holding her of course) and can just about roll over. She could do all this the day she was born. I have a feeling we are going to have an early crawler and walker. YAY!
- She LOVES to eat. I feel like I feed her all day long!
- She is getting so chubby I love it! Her belly is so round and her cheeks are getting so chubby. And her legs! Ah so cute. But she is still wearing newborn clothes! 0-3 month is way too big still.
- She definitely knows who her Mommy and Daddy are. Whenever someone else is holding her and we talk she looks around for us.
- She smiled at me today! I swear it was a smile. Twice.
- She loves to pee when ONLY I am changing her diaper. She never does it to Kelly. And she gets the changing pad cover all wet. I feel like I wash it everyday!
- She loves being naked. Except for when it's right after her bath (which she is starting to love!)
- She doesn't like to lay down like a baby. She likes to sit up like a big girl!
- She loves to snuggle. I hope this lasts forever. :)
- She ALWAYS sleeps with her hands on her face.
- She loves her car seat. If she won't stop crying, we just put her in her car seat and she falls right to sleep!
There are many other things I could write about her but that will do for now. We love having her in our lives! Even being sleep deprived and not being able to shower or get ready most days until late afternoon, I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!
I put her in the same outfit today she wore coming home from the hospital at 2 days old. I should have left it unzipped so you could see the difference in her belly but I guess you still kinda can. She has definitely changed and has grown so much! I bet she is close to 9 pounds now. And she still holds her legs in the air! It's so cute!
I LOVE THIS BABY GIRL SO MUCH!!
