Mary at One Month

Mary is already one month old, can you believe it? I was just mentioning to my visiting teachers how the first few months with a new baby seem to go buy really slowly at times, especially the day to day parts of what seems like constant feeding and changing diapers, but then you look back and wonder how it passed so quickly! That's how it was with Josh, and again with Mary.

Mary is growing like a weed and adding more rolls and chubs, which makes her even more cute. Here she is right after being born, then today at one month old:

Does she look chubbier to you?

Mary is sleeping pretty well at night, she'll usually give me at least a 3 hour stretch, if not a 4 or 4 1/2 hour stretch, which is so nice after getting up every 1 1/2 - 2 hours with Josh for the first couple of months. She also takes pretty good naps, but no schedule yet. Josh would only take short catnaps at this age, so this is a nice change. This last week I have caught a few small smiles when I get her to look at me, but nothing too big yet...I'm excited for those. She is also able to hold her neck up a lot better, but it's still not quite strong enough to sit up in the Bumbo.

Here are some more fun pictures of Mary taken this past month:
