I cannot believe Ava is already one month old. Where in the heck does the time go?! She had her one month check up yesterday - here are her new measurements:
9 lbs 11.5 oz, 20 1/4 in long
A few valuable lessons I have learned so far:
Breastfeeding is the most emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting thing I have ever done. But it's all worth it.
Wait at least ten minutes after hearing a bowel movement to change the diaper!
Don't forget baby wipes when going out!
Don't read too much into the little things. I was constantly worried the first two weeks that she was on the verge of death. Not true!
Make sure to add at least an hour onto any outing you plan for the day.
Unfortunately, cradle cap can start in the eyebrows.
Mike is the most amazing father and husband I could ever ask for.
I am looking forward to what month two brings us! It's fascinating how quickly babies develop. Every day Ava surprises us with something new and amazing..and every day I think to myself, "I can't believe Mike and I made something so complex and so beautiful". Really, human beings are marvelous creatures.
Thank you, Ava, for bringing an incredible amount of happiness and joy into our lives.

What a beauty! Do you think she looks like you? I love the things you've learned too! It doesn't take long, does it?!? Breast feeding doesn't get any easier, either! Some things do, but breast feeding is very time consuming the more and more little ones you have around! xx
Lotion lotion lotion for cradle-CRAP! Luckily Hunter never got it, but I am OCD. She is so precious, and looks just like you Soph. Gorgeous! I wish I could squeeze her. Give her loves from aunt Trishi!
She is getting so big already. She is almost half Hallie's weight now. She is too cute.
Verrrryyy good advice for other new moms...you girls are learning fast!
