One Month

We made it through Ella's first month of life! To be honest I'm glad it's over, it was rough. But this past week things were a little better, so I'm counting on month 2 to be a great one!

At One Month:

-Ella is still beautiful. Often when I hold her, i'll just stare at her and it takes my breath away a little realizing that this beautiful tiny person is MY daughter. And I'll get to see her grow and learn and progress, and one day she'll call me mom and run to me for comfort when she's scared or hurt...

-BUT she is losing the hair on top of her head, which makes me so sad, and makes her look a little like an old man:(

-Every once in a while she'll laugh in her sleep and it is the cutest thing!

-Still has quite a few feeding issues. Feeding time is the time I dread the most. She almost always becomes extremely fussy while eating and then for some time after. 

-Still in her newborn clothes, but she is starting to fill them out a lot more.

-She is definitely daddy's girl. This little lady loves her daddy and usually calms down better for him than for mommy. It's a good thing Kyle has a month off school during the holidays to spend with us!

-My favorite hobby right now is taking pictures of Ella, and yes all of these pictures are taken in her crib. It has a cute background, the lighting is great and its right next to her changing table, so I put her in a cute outfit and then just right into the crib for a little photo shoot. Here's a few pictures just from the past couple days.
