One Month Old

On Wednesday, little Alice turned one month old.  It is hard to believe that we have had her so long, but it is also hard to imagine life before her.  We just love her so much.  I know that newborn infants don't have many accomplishments, but here are a few that her baised parents notice
  • She loves to look around and study things visually.  
  • She loves to cuddle.
  • She can hold her head up when she wants to
  • She will sleep about a 4 hour stretch at night
  • She smiles after she eats - it is really cute but hard to photograph
  • She doesn't mind too much when Bella steps on her, or lays next to Alice with the tail in her face
  • Overall, she is a very content baby and we love her
At her Dr. Appt on Thursday, she weighed 8 pounds 2.5 ounces (19%) was 19.5 inches (4%) and her head was 14 inches (14%).   Here are some pictures of her at 1 month.
 
Sometimes after her bath her hair sticks straight out and she looks like an Asian baby.
 
Here is Alice's newest diaper cover.  It is wool and adorable.  Thanks Aunt Becky!
(Notice how Bella likes to be close to Alice.  I think they will be good friends eventually)
And one more picture.  She loves to have her hands and arms up

Last pic is the BEST! So cute. I'm sure she and the pup will be best buds. Our dog Lybbee and Lucie just love each other. When our dog walks in the room Lucie squeals for joy and when she's crying Lybbee tries to take care of her by licking her face or getting Tygh or I.

She is so cute, Shirlee! I hope I get to meet her one day! Maybe you 3 should come visit the DC/Baltimore area! (hint, hint, wink, wink) I know of a nice free place you could stay!
