Avery: 1 Month

Holy Moly! Where does the time go? I can't believe my baby is already a month old!

After it was too late for Harvey, I discovered monthly stickers to add to a onesie each month for a photoshoot and I loved the idea. Then, I saw that Young House Love produced the same effect with Photoshop, and I knew that's what I wanted to do for my future children. Plus they used adorable patterned fabric pieces for a background.

Here is Avery's first month photo:

And I'll do the same pages in her baby book as I made for Harvey's book:

(this is just the same list repeated so I don't have to retype it for my blog book):
Avery:

• is growing fast! At two weeks she already caught up to her birth weight and gained 5 more ounces! The doctor said I don't have to worry about waking her up to eat.
• has already outgrown most of her newborn outfits. Technically she did that before she was born at almost 10 pounds!
• is super mellow. Even her hardest sob is so tiny and sweet. (Sometimes I even let her cry a minute longer just so I can hear it.)
• loves to listen to soft whistles. She will smile and try to talk to you while you whistle her a tune.
• squeaks. Alot. I can't sleep with her in our room so she is across the hall in the nursery. And I can still hear her squeaks over the white noise machine. 
• likes her binkis. Mom and Dad are both TOTALLY okay with this.
• took a bottle great when she was 12 days old. (A relief for Mom!)
• loves to be swaddled. If she is unwrapped when she is sleepy she lets us know it's not acceptable.
• hasn't mastered the burp yet. It takes forever to burp her.
• sleeps a ton. Since she was 2.5 weeks old I've gotten 5 and 6 hour stretches at night!
• is strong - her legs fight while you change her diaper, and she can already hold her head up for quite a while.
• loves her big brother. She loves when he talks to her, holds her, or gives her knuckles. 

Lastly, here is the baby announcement that made it on the back of our Christmas Cards... I love how it turned out!!
