One!

Loie is one month old!





As of last Sunday, that is.  She is the sweetest little thing and such a cute addition to our family.  I mean, who can resist those eyes?

Here are some things we've noticed about her in the first month of life.
- she sleeps with her mouth open a lot, like she's catching flies
-sometimes her eyes flutter open when she sleeps and you can see them 
zooming all over the place, equally cute and creepy
- She's not very good at keeping binkies in her mouth, but she really likes to suck
- sometimes she sounds like maggie when she sucks on her binky
- she has a stork bite on her eyelid, right between the eyes, and the back of her neck
- sometimes she smacks her lips and it's adorable
- she feeds like a champ
- she toots like an adult
- she squeaks and grunts for the first 20 or so minutes as she goes to sleep 
and the last 45 min as she wakes up
- she has baby acne that we're hoping goes away sooner rather than later
- she looks a lot like me, which makes Isla look a lot more like Bart
- we'll say she is mild to medium colicky, mostly due to her reflux
- her fussy period is 5 HOURS long every night, not fun
- she is a very sensitive baby, completely opposite to Isla

At 2 weeks, she was up in length at 20.75 inches, 
weighed in at 7lbs 10oz, with a head circ. of 36.3 cm.


Here are my favorite spoofs from our little afternoon photo sesh.  She wasn't terribly thrilled to be hanging out on the bed with a flash in her face.




Sooo precious.  With sooo much hair.
