Happy Birthday to you!

My baby girl is one month old today! Where did that month go? I was just looking at pictures of her from when we were in the hospital and then peeking at her while she is sleeping in her little chair...she looks so much older. She weighs over 2 lbs more than she did when she was born and is 3 inches longer. Her hair is lighter. She smiles (still not sure if it's from gas or it's because she's happy...I think it's gas). She makes little sighing noises when she eats. She coos and ahhhs after she's done eating in the morning and lays in the bed with us. Her eyes follow me when I walk past her and she will try to turn her head if she hears me talking. She doesn't wake us up by crying at night--she grunts. She still really hasn't figure out how to keep the pacifier in her mouth. She can fart and burp at the same time. She can make me forget about everything with one little sigh of content in my ear at 3 am when she is snuggled up against my chest. God I love this kid.

A whole month. It went by so fast, yet it feels like it's been forever. Sounds cheesy and everyone I know that is a parent explained that it would feel this way...and it does. I remember our life before Hazel, but it is a distant memory. I can't figure out what we did with all that free time back then!

Funny thing, even through all these little bumps over the past month of trying to figure out parenthood, I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.
