One Month Old!

You turned one month old in December and you did it with a bang lots of screaming.  At about 3 weeks colic hit.  You screamed a whole lot.  It took hours for Mommy and Daddy to get you to sleep.  We walked around the apartment, rocked, bounced you up and down and patted your back.  We learned that you liked the sound of the shower and the washer.  We spent a lot of time in the bathroom with the shower running, and you usually fell asleep for the night while we were sitting in the laundry room while your diapers washed.  We washed a lot of laundry!!  You slept in Mommy and Daddy's room in your pack and play.

We also learned that you hate your baths, your car seat and naps.  In fact we couldn't find a lot of things that you did like in your first month of life, but we were in love with you anyway.  We spent a lot of time together because you never slept and needed lots of love.  You didn't really like nursing, at all.  We kept at it and we both eventually caught on and almost overnight you became a pro.  You had the biggest appetite of any little one month baby I ever knew.  I was amazed at how much one tiny little girl could eat!  You were the cutest, tiniest, little thing we had ever seen.  We took lots of pictures and had fun showing you off to all of our family.

You had your first trip to the beach when you were a week old.  I think you liked it, you slept the whole time we were there.  We picked a pretty shell as a souvenir.  Your daddy loves the beach so I know there will be many more trips as you get older.
