One Month Old!!

One month ago our lives changed forever when our sweet baby girl was born! She has been such a blessing and joy!! We are so excited to watch her grow, and delight in the privilege of being her parents. Her little personality is slowly coming out, and we can definitely say we have a really good baby!

**She's been sleeping in her big girl crib since she was 7 days old... she really loves it! Mama and Daddy have a monitor to keep an eye/ear on her, but she lets us sleep some nights for 4 hrs in a row!

**Lindsay girl has been 'talking' and making more and more noises. The other morning I heard sounds from our monitor and she was smiling and cooing, looking at the stripes on her bumper. Jarrett's an early bird, and I think she takes after him!

**Lindsay took her first breast milk bottle (yay!) this week! Daddy gave her the bottle in the rocking chair and she ate 3 oz, followed by some good burps! We were thrilled she took the bottle without a fuss, which is wonderful for when Jarrett & I want to go to dinner or a movie and get a babysitter!

**Lindsay has been making eye contact and smiling (I know they say it's just gas bubbles, but it still melts my heart :) She has a dimple on the left side of her cheek, and its precious! I look forward to seeing it more as she gets older!

**ROLLS! She is eating every 2-3 hours, sometimes 3-4 hrs at night (only a couple times). She's been eating good, and she had rolls on her arms, legs and an adorable double chin!

**Look I found my tongue! Just in the past few days, she has been sticking her tongue out at Mama and Daddy... and she is surprised when she gets a hold of her hand in her mouth!

On another note...I absolutely LOVE being a Mother! Sometimes I just stare at her and think, "Wow! I can't believe how unbelievably blessed I am!" I just want to squeeze her- but I refrain..lol. They say you don't know how much you can love something until you become a parent, and I can say that I agree. It really puts it in perspective the unconditional love Christ has for us, His precious children. Thank you to all our family and friends for their prayers and love! Lindsay is one lucky girl to have so many people who love her!
