~ 1 Month

Dear Ivy,

I can't believe that you are already 1 month old! It has gone by oh so very quickly. It seems just like yesterday that you came into our lives. I am seriously amazed at how you have stolen our hearts. As I have said before, we are absolutely smitten with you.

Overall, you are a great baby. The majority of the time you are very good natured. You will typically only cry when you are hungry or gassy. You are sleeping for 2 hour stretches during the day and about 3 hours at night. You are holding your head up really well. This past week you gave us your first real smile and I cried. It looks like you will have blue eyes and I am very excited about this. When you sneeze it's adorable. You are also breastfeeding like a champ. On Tuesday, you go back to the Dr and I am wondering how much you have grown.

Your dislikes: the car seat, pacifier - only rarely will you take it and being swaddled with your arms in.

Grandma and Grandpa C. came out this week past week to meet you. You are being spoiled with lots of attention from Grandma. Hopefully, you will get to see them again for Thanksgiving.

You are currently sleeping on my lap and your little fist is clenched tight. You just sighed and my heart is full with so much love. I look forward to your first laugh. Your first steps, pretty dresses and tea parties!

Love,

Momma













Thank you Lord for this precious little girl!
