One Month Old


Posted by Picasa

These last few weeks Lena has been transitioning out of preemie clothes and diapers and into newborn stuff which gives us many more dressing options. Her hair bows are fitting now and we have had tons of fun wearing her Babylegs newborn leg warmers. She is a great baby and only gets gassy occasionally. She is changing constantly and quickly putting on her baby fat, which I LOVE! She is over seven pounds now which is up nearly three pounds from birth. She has been gaining around 1 to 1.5 oz per day! She guzzles her food and I think it is hilarious how she sounds like a cross between a gremlin and a piggy when she takes her bottle. She seems to be keeping her head of lovely brown hair and her eyes seem to be staying a nice grey blue. Purple is this little girl's best color!
I have been LOVING my new job as a stay at home mom. My days as a high school teacher already seem like a distant past. We are so blessed to have our Lena and are just drinking her in and cherishing each precious day.

She is adorable! It was so nice to see you both. She's not just a beautiful baby, but a good baby! You are truly blessed and I'm so happy for you. I remember those interesting sounds...we used to call DJ the "Kirby" because he sucked so hard and Levi the "wookie" because he would make those wookie/ gremlin sounds! ;) Too funny!
