One Month

It's hard to believe that Anabelle is already one month old! The last month has flown by for us and her little face has already started changing so much. Here are some of Anabelle's changes and developments.

1. Her ears are no longer paper thin. When she was born her ears were so thin and flimsy. Matt and I laughed about it on several occasions and studied them because they didn't look real.
2. Her cheeks are starting to fill out which makes her look more like Hayden.
3. She is a very easy going baby and she rarely cries. Her biggest outbursts happen when she's hungry, we're in the car, and we're still 10 miles from our destination.
4. She likes napping and really enjoys napping curled up on the couch with Mommy or snuggled up on Daddy's chest.
5. Hayden adores her and is very (very) protective of her. Hayden refers to her as "My Ellie".
6. Anabelle smiles all the time. Melts our hearts.
7. She holds her head up pretty well. We haven't been giving her tummy time much (and didn't at all when we were in the hospital) so we'll be working on that more in the coming months.
8. She hasn't been gaining much weight lately. She lost some weight when she was at the hospital and is now at the same weight she was at 3 weeks ago. But, she's grown an inch and her head has grown so at least her brain is getting bigger. Ha!
9. She is the perfect addition to our family!

Here are some of our favorite pictures from the last month.

Great update. Glad to hear her ears have gotten thicker. hehe. There was a picture in your hospital shots where Ellie was crying and I could see Hayden in her face. It is amazing how the genes come through. I can't wait to see you all in March. It cannot come fast enough. Lots of love to you all. Keep the updates coming!
