ONE MONTH ALREADY!

Tuesday marked Bessie's one month birthday.  I can't believe it's already been a month!  I can't believe it's only been a month!  It's gone so quickly, and yet, it seems like she's always been here.

We're starting to see some intentional smiles!  As soon as I can capture a few cute ones on the camera, I'll put them up!

We're trying to work on a routine, but it's been a little difficult - more guests keep pouring in.  The good news is we're settling back in to it today, and after the last of the grandmas leave on Monday we should be able to re-establish fairly well.  Make fun of tummy time, song time and book reading time all you will, but it helps settle her down for her naps!  (and more naps supposedly equals better sleep at night.  or any sleep at night.  we'll take any!)

I attached a few photos from Tuesday (her "birthday") so you can compare her growth from 4 weeks ago!  Hugeness!  We get weighed again on the 30th, and I'm excited to see what kind of progress we're making.  Unfortunately, she's asleep in both photos.  Turns out Bessie and Grandma like to skip activity time in favor of snuggle time - and you know what? when you're 4 weeks old, that's just fine.
