One Month of Alba


1. She has mastered smiling. This girl smiled basically from day one, but she's very interactive and will smile in response to you every time now. She is the most smiley baby I've ever seen.

2. Loves to eat and eats every 2 1/2- 3 hours around the clock.

3. She's moved up to 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers.

4. She does not like her diaper changed, especially when she's hungry.

5. She loves to be held and moving. She's a big fan of the swing.

6. She has a passport. And a couple of days after she turned one month she got a stamp in it. 

7. She is a spoiled little thing and has been held for the majority of her life between me, grandma, aunt Taryn, and anyone else who can squeeze in a turn. 

8. We only spent the first couple of weeks with her at our house before we packed up the car and went to St. George for nearly 3 weeks. She doesn't love her carseat but she has done really well with all of our traveling. She's already learning she has to be adaptable to be a part of this family.

9. The boys absolutely adore her. Briggs is constantly kissing her and they both sing to her, talk to her, and protect her fiercely. I frequently find them playing mama and baby lion (or whatever animal they choose that day) and they stay close to her and growl at anyone who comes close. She is well loved and has some sweet big brothers who will protect her for her entire life.

10. She loves to be swaddled and calms right down when we wrap her up

11. I am a milk machine and have already stocked up about 60 bags of breastmilk in the freezer and she continues to get chubbier and chubbier. 

We are so enamored with this sweet little girl and love that she's in our family. 


 






She tolerates so much! 
Ian thought it would be a fun idea if he was in my "tummy" and she was in his.








This picture (and the 40 others just like it) was taken by Briggs and is very accurate of how I spend my days.









Ian saw me wearing Alba and asked if he could be a mama Kangeroo too. You just can't turn down a request like that!







First Sunday with all three kids.
