You are one month old today and we love you so much! This is what your father and I have discovered about you thus far.
1. You LOVE to use your eyes. Lights fascinate you and you go to great lengths to keep them on bright objects.
2. You hate when people take off your clothes!
3. You love to be held.
4. At least a dozen people have said you look like a doll because you are so beautiful.
5. You have a REALLY strong neck. Since your birth, you can hold your head up on your own.
6. You sleep with your hands in the air and fingers spread apart, kicking all the while.
7. You stretch A LOT.
8. Adam protects you and watches your every move.
9. You love music...even my singing! Specifically, you enjoy Billy Joel and the Beatles.

23. You have an "outtie" as of now.
24. You attempt to hold your own bottle and pacifier.

31. Best Distraction When Crying - The crib entertainment from JD - it lights up and plays music.
32. You grew out of "newborn" diapers two weeks ago and wear size one (you will for a while, I'm sure).
33. You smile a lot, though they said you're too young.
34. You go through 7 diapers, on average, per day.
35. Your dad calls you "Little One" and "baby Girl."
