Carson at ONE month!

Here is a late Valentine's Day Picture :)


One Month!


I cannot believe our little girl is one month old already! Like everyone tells you-time really does fly by!! Carson seems to be growing so much and we fall in love a little more everyday-especially when she gives you one of her adorable grins :)

At one month Carson...
-LOVES her lamb swing-she takes a morning nap in this everyday! (wonder if I need to break that habit?) :)
-Sleeps ALL night in her crib! That is, before and after her feedings. She has had one long stretch of 5 hours of sleep, otherwise she has one long stretch of about 4 hours on most nights. But there are still nights when she likes to remind us she is in her room every couple of hours too! :)
-Her favorite time of day is early afternoon/evening-right about the time when Daddy gets home from work!
-She really enjoys bath time! I can't wait for her to start splashing around :)
-Just this week she has really started smiling at her Daddy and I! It is the BEST thing ever! I just wish I could catch it on camera! (I'll keep trying!)
-She is starting to really love staring at her swings mobile/mirror and her play mat toys! It is so much fun seeing her learn things so quickly!

Things we are working on at one month:
-Introducing her to the bottle-this is somewhat of a challenge because she doesn't seem to like anything artificial-she doesn't like pacifiers either! But, she will get the hang of it soon-she enjoys the bonding with daddy!
-Sleeping longer at night-I know this will come with time!


ONE month stats: We happened to go to the doctor around her one month and she weighs 11 pounds 7 ounces! BIG girl :) And, mommy is going to get some great biceps! haha :)




We are certainly enjoying this warm weather and cannot wait for more of it! Bring on SPRING!! And we are anxiously looking forward to our first beach trip at Easter!

Lots of LOVE all around!!!

My how time flies! Our sweet baby girl is almost a month old!!! These first few weeks have been great, especially now that I have been able to get out of the house a bit. I think we are starting to get into some sort of routine-the type of routine that is dictated by when Carson is hungry :) But, I am loving every minute of it!

Below are a couple pictures from our first few weeks--
One Week-



2 Weeks-(our 2 week photo didn't work out so well-the focus was messed up!)


We had some fun visitors too!





We had a wonderful Valentine's Day and truly feel blessed by our newest LOVE! We just can't cuddle, hug or kiss her enough :)
Valentines pics to follow soon....
