I can't believe Molly is already a month old! Y'all weren't kidding when y'all told me it flies by! I LOVE Molly and my time together. A mother is what I was meant to be. I think back to when it was so hard for us to have a family and wondering if I ever would be a Mom. But deep down, I knew God's plan was for me to become a Mom. And here I am with the most amazing little daughter. He also blessed us with the opportunity for me to stay home with her. This has always been a desire of mine, too. Just knowing that all my afternoons will be spent with Molly fills my heart with so much happiness. Josh is also enjoying the benefits of a stay at home wifey - clean house, clean clothes, home cooked meals, and a wife who's not so cranky!
What we have enjoyed over the last month:
- She now weighs 9 pounds 12 ounces! Thatta girl!
- She still sleeps very well at night, except for just a handful of nights.
- She LOVES her boppy. She likes to sit up and look around the room.
- She LOVES kisses, especially from her Daddy. I think it's his stubble. But it does make her SMILE!
- We have seen a TRUE smile on her pretty face!
- She enjoys tummy time.
- She is getting so strong! She is lifting her head very well and even rotating it. Of course, it only lasts about 10 seconds, but we do a little Molly cheer every time she does it! She has a very strong grip. Sometimes, I can't even get her legs straight to change her diaper... just soo strong!
- She has certainly been spoiled by her grandparents and her aunts!
- She loves spending time in her swing (and we've loved it, too - whew!)
- Still wearing newborn clothes and diapers - some of it is still big on her!
- Her cord fell off at exactly 2 weeks.
- She is finally not crying through bath time. I think she enjoys it now.
- She beat jaundice!!!
- She does not like Cheeto's! I was trying to get her latched and had some Cheeto crumbs on my finger - oops. But her disgusted face was worth it - ha ha!! Poor thing.
- She is extremely ticklish!
- She is the queen of spit up!
We love you, Molly Jane!!! And we look forward to many, many, many more months with you!!!
