1 Month- Ella

On the 3rd Ella was a whole month old!! Time goes by way too fast. If each month goes by as fast as this one I fear I will miss out on all the fun of having a little baby. I wish I had the time to just sit and hold her all day. I guess I will have to cherish those middle of the night feedings.

Ella had her 1 month appointment on Tuesday and she is growing great. She is now 10 lbs 2 oz (75%) and 22 1/4 inches (75%). I swear she put on all that weight just in this last week. Her legs are starting to get some chubs and I am loving it!

These last couple days she has started smiling and it wasn't while she slept or when she passed gas. Was she smiling at me because I was talking in a high pitch voice and making faces? Nope, she cant even see me... and I do it anyways. I will take any little smile I can get. I cant wait for those intentional smiles.

Ella is starting to wake up a little more. She tends to want to stay awake at bed time but we are trying to change that. I feel I succeed if I am in bed before midnight. She doesn't quite know what to do with herself when she is awake so she just tries to eat. She always has her mouth open. She is a sweet baby and we have loved every moment with her.
