one month

{No, I don't smile, I just do poop faces & I poop a lot}

My baby girl is one month old today! The time has FLOWN by! I keep thinking I have this new, tiny baby but she's growing by the day, and it feels like she's been around forever. She is my best little friend, and I couldn't love her more. I think I was blessed with an easygoing, happy little girl to balance out my two crazy boys. Most of her days are spent sleeping and eating, but she is starting to wake up a bit more & wants to be heard when she does. I get a ton of comments on her red hair (just like I did with James). I wish I could play "the exhausted new mom" card, but she sleeps so well at night. Last night she slept from 10:30pm until 6:30am without waking or eating...it was amazing (except for the fact that Henry woke up 3 times in the night). Let's just hope she remains a good sleeper and that I don't have to deal with the Ferberization process this time around.

I think my chunker weighs about 11 1/2 pounds.
She fits perfectly into 0-3 clothes.
Lots of little spit-ups and big blow-outs.
She's at her happiest while being held or swaddled in her swing.
Her best time of day is first thing in the morning when she just wants to look around.
Her worst time of day is in the evening when she wants to squawk for a bit.
Henry claims her first word was "Hi", but I don't think we'll count it just yet.
James prefers that her headbands cover her eyes despite my attempts to keep them on her head.

{Aren't I cute?}
{Or not?}
The newborn cross-eyes freak me out a bit,
but she still is pretty darn darling while making such a face.

Happy one month, Stella Jane!
We love you & watching you grow!

She's adorable. I think having a girl after two boys makes you appreciate all the bows, tights, and dresses all the more! I do have to comment on the beautiful red hair- its so pretty!!
