One Month of a Blessing!

Today marks Elizabeth's one month birthday and what a joy she has been! The past 4 weeks have flown by and have been the best of our lives. In celebration, Honey and Poppy threw a birthday party for our little princess.

At one month of age:

Elizabeth LOVES

to EAT (this is an understatement people!)

bathtime

to be held

to cuddle

to sleep in the swing (we have yet to master sleeping in our crib)

walks in the park

to be outside

to ride in her carseat (falls asleep every time)

Elizabeth DISLIKES

when she gets the hiccups

her bed

being swaddled (she seemed to love it in the hospital)

having a dirty diaper

changing clothes

tummy to play time (she would love to sleep on her stomach - against AAP guidelines)

nail trimming

to be hungry

Mommy LOVES
kissing her chubby cheeks

the adorable face I wake up to

when I get her out of bed (or swing I should say) for nightime feedings - the way she arches her back, leans her head back, and throws her arms up near her ears as she scored a touchdown

snuggling

when she flutters her eyes as she enters a light stage of sleep and seems to "smile"

watching her sleep (I guess I should probably be sleeping too)

how dramatic she is when she sneezes and coughs
reading to her
rocking her to sleep

I.LOVE.HER!!!

Elizabeth continues to wear newborn diapers, to nurse approximately every 3 hours during the day with longer periods at night, and is starting to wear 3 month clothing. I can not get over how much she has changed in just a few short weeks. Everyone continues to say she looks like her daddy and we still  aren't sure where her light hair came from - only time will tell!

Elizabeth goes to the pediatrician again this coming Monday. I will have more to post of her progress in the coming days...
