One Month!

Wow! This past Sunday, Camryn was officially one month old! We have had a long, fun month of learning, growing, lack of sleep, and falling in love with her! :)

Camryn at one month old...with a couple of special friends! :)
Here's what has been going on with us during her first month:

1. We are working on getting Camryn on a schedule. Right now, she's eating about every 3 hours and taking 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps between each feeding...that's a lot of sleeping! We're trying to go by the book Babywise...seems to be working well so far.

2. She still wears newborn sized diapers and clothes. Some of the 0 - 3 month things fit, too. I can tell, though, that she is growing little by little...she's starting to get the cute, baby rolls on her legs!

3. She gets the hiccups about once a day. (Check out this video)

4. She sleeps really well when she's swaddled (aka burrito baby!)...but she also loves to wiggle her arms free.
5. Her favorite place is snuggled up next to my chest.
6. We think her eyes will be blue...they started out very dark, but are lightening up.
7. We have had several visits from family...we are so blessed with how much Camryn is loved!
8. Camryn can hold her head up for a short period of time...we're working on that a little every day! (Watch this!)

9. She is getting much better at making eye contact...she loves to look at our faces. :)
10. I try to take Camryn out somewhere every day. So far, that has included church, small group, the grocery store, Target, the mall, and on walks through our neighborhood.
Thank you, Lord, for the sweet blessing of a child! We're looking forward to what month 2 has to offer!

Love the update! I'm so glad things are going well for you guys and that Babywise is helping out. We're doing that with our second little buddy and he's responding to it really well, just like Bennett did.

Those are precious pictures. She's beautiful!
