Reese, 1 month

Reese was 1 month old on Saturday. I know everyone says this, but I can't believe how fast the time has gone and how much she has grown already. Everyone tells me how tiny she is, but she just keeps looking bigger and bigger to me. She is starting to get her little rolls everywhere and the "newborn" look is slowly fading to just a little baby. It is fun and sad at the same time.

So far, she has been a near perfect baby. She still sleeps a lot during the day, but is awake for long chunks of time a few times a day. When she is awake, she is bright eyed and pretty content. She is not a big fan of her swing yet, but we are hoping that will change. She loves to be sitting up, trying hard to hold her still wobbly head up. We have gotten a few fleeting smiles, but are still waiting for the big grins. She is a little fuzzy at night, right before bed, when we are ready for her to go down, but she is not quite in agreement yet. Once she goes to sleep, around 11:00, she will usually sleep 4-5 hours, eat, and sleep for 3-4 more hours. Even then, she usually goes back to sleep until 8 or 9.

Reese, we are already in love and want you to stay little forever, although we know that is not possible. So we pray that you continue to grow healthy and happy and we thank God everyday for bringing you into our lives
