One Month down, a lifetime to go!

Well, our little lady is one month old!  We found out that she is growing great - at her 5 week appointment she weighed 11 lbs 10 oz which is in the 95th percentile.  So...she is definitely not petite!  We LOVE that she is more awake and alert now.  It's still a little hard to play with her, but we are able to get a little more response out of her.  She has some great smiles that appear every now and then, which makes it a little hard to catch on camera (even though we have tried MANY times).  She is starting to sleep 6-7 hours at night which is AMAZING!  I love it - a good 6 hours of sleep does wonders these days.  We love our little girl and feel so blessed to have a strong, healthy baby.  And to make it even better, she's adorable!  Here are some pictures that have been taken over the past few weeks.
 A smile that Benn's mom caught during bath time.
 Her second Sunday to Church - I think she looks SO cute with little bows.  Too bad she doesn't really like wearing them yet...
 Love how she is just kickin' it here!
 She is starting to really enjoy her little play area.  Thanks Aunt Jessica!
 She is starting to escape from her swaddle.
 She loves bath time and Benn is a pro!

These next three are pictures we took on her one month birthday.


We blessed her at church Sept. 1st so the next few pictures are from that.  Her dress was made by Benn's mom and it is beautiful!
