Annabel is one month old today!

July 1st, we have a one month old baby and we have managed to keep her alive! I kid, but being a parent is scary with no exact how-to manual! They just let you walk right out of the hospital with them! I must say that Annabel is a lucky lady with parents who truly enjoy being parents and have loved every minute of it. Even the lack of sleep. And the poop. This month has taught me about miracles, love and life. It has been a truly amazing experience.

One of the first things people say when you have a baby is, "Enjoy it! It goes by SO fast!" They aren't kidding! This month went by in the blink of an eye and we have had so many great moments already!

*We have learned to distinguish between Annabel's cries. She is usually either hungry, wet, or has lost her binkie.
*Annabel has become much more alert! She LOVES her swing and now stares at her mobile all the time.
*She stares at faces and makes her own funny faces
*She is starting to coo and make noises of her own
*She loves to dance or jazzersize in her crib!
*She is starting to grab on to things
*She still needs to wear her mittens because she still likes to have her hands up by her face and sometimes scratches, although this is getting so much better.
*Annabel loves her binkie...this could become a problem someday but makes her so happy for now...

Thanks for being such a wonderful, beautiful, and sweet little baby, Annabel. Each day is truly even better than the one before it. We cannot wait for the many more wonderful moments we are sure you will bring into our lives!
