One Month Old

(On Thursday, which is when these pictures were taken)

I know these pictures are all practically the same, but there are subtle differences in her expression. Besides, I just can't get enough of her!

I wanted to show off her cute little legs a little bit, so I took off her pants.

. . . She did not want to show off her cute little legs.

Of course, Eleanor wanted me to take pictures of "two ones." If only I had combed her hair. . . oh well. You can really see Phaedra's hair in this one. Her hair gets curly every time we bathe her, and a few of the curls stay standing when it's dry.
I can't believe she's already a month old. This month has been so crazy; it has just flown by. Phaedra is a very sweet baby. She has been really mellow, even slightly more than Eleanor was, I think, and Eleanor was a rather good baby. Phae has had good nights and bad as far as sleep. Some nights, she wants to be up all night, forcing Grant to pace around with her because every time he sits down, she screams. Other nights, she sleeps the whole time in her bed, only waking to eat and promptly go back to sleep.

I am thoroughly addicted to her smell, the look of her face, holding her close, and the little sounds she makes, such as snorts, sighs, and sometimes a little coo. She has been very tolerant of her eager older sister and the fact that she has to wait sometimes while I deal with her older sister. We are so blessed to have this little girl in our family.
