Madaelyn was one month old, so of course I had to do a little photo shoot.
She is growing. so. much.
Madaelyn is coo-ing, lifting her head, and engaging in "conversation/gazing" with people. She is definitely starting to express her feeling. She is no stranger to the boo boo lip if she is sad (from not getting to eat instantly, being startled by a noise, or getting a shot)
She is super sweet and generally a relaxed baby.
We have had a few nights where she sleeps 5+ hours, with her maximum being 8 hours!
this was super exciting for me and I felt like a new person after having such a great stretch of uninterrupted sleep!
Madaelyn is also starting to smile purposefully! I have unfortunately not been able to capture this moment on camera yet. Madaelyn is 8lbs 15oz and I did not ask how long she is. I will find out and update. She also got a shot which she vocalized her dislikefor the experience to me as I held her.
Madaelyn has been such a joy.
I am cherishing all the time we get to spend together.
chatting. snuggling. just being us.
It is a great feeling to be Madaelyn's Mom.
I still find myself staring at her in awe/amazement that she was in my body at one point and now is here. It truly is a miracle.
I am so blessed.
