Ayda Jean : One month

 My goodness how time flies! Ayda Jean had her "one month birthday" on the 9th and I can't believe it! I never believed people or never understood what they meant when they said time speeds up as you get older, but that is finally starting to sink in!

Here are just a few highlights of Ayda Jean's first month.

- Mommy was in labor after being induced for about 9.5 hrs and when Ayda was ready to come out... it took one push, literally.

-She weighed 8lbs 7oz and was 21 inches long

-She was back to exactly her birth weight at her 2 week check up.

-She grew .75 inches in the first 2 weeks.

-I have had to wake her to eat in the middle of the night since she was 3 days old.

-She sleeps 8 hours almost every night.

-Her eyes are already turning blue and she seems to have blonde hair. (with my dark eyes and super dark hair I would almost think she wasn't mine, haha!)

-She loves the sound of her Daddy's voice and smiles almost every time he speaks.

-She has been consistently holding her head up since about 2 weeks after she was born.

-She is soo soo alert and always seems to be taking everything in.

-She loves music. (yay!)

-She doesn't mind the car unless it stops, even for a second.

-Her big brother is absolutely in love with her and asks for her every morning

-She may hate me by the time she's 3 because we play dress up all the time!

-She went through a phase of ridiculous amounts of spit up... not her finest moment, but definitely a big part of the first month.

-I think she looks like her Daddy and her Aunt Maci most of the time.

-She has captured our hearts and we can't imagine life with out her!!

That's just a list of the highlights mainly to help me remember. :) This is something I didn't do every month with Gabe and I wish I would have. We did pictures and I have all of his firsts, but I didn't write down the little things. :(

Here are just a few shots I got last Saturday in her bedroom. Her room lets in the most beautiful light and I am in love with these pictures!!
