happy one month, betsy!

Our little Betsy is already a month old, it's going by so fast. She is a sweet baby and so easy compared to Tristan, compared to her at that age and now.
Some highlights:
  • First day at the beach- gas chambers on May 21st, 3 & 1/2 weeks old.
  • She's a great sleeper and often sleeps through most of the night, usually only waking up once or twice. She's also a cuddler like her brother.
  • She is a LOUD sleeper, not sure if it's when it's a light sleep or when she's dreaming or uncomfortable, but it happens often. She is a mean grunter and sounds like a whole family of wild boars. Kind of difficult to sleep through sometimes. But then she does do an adorable squeak a lot, like a mouse snoring, that is our favorite thing ever.
  • She makes the weirdest noises, lots of bodily functions happening and we often can't tell which end the sound came from.
  • Her favorite thing to do is poop poop in freshly changed diapers. Over and over again.
  • It looks as though she has inherited Mama's hands and feet. Lucky girl! :)
  • She likes a good bath in the sink. Gets real calm and you can tell she's enjoying herself.
  • She could be bigger than Tristan in the near future. Last appointment she was 95th percentile in weight, gaining a whole pound in a week. Height was 75th percentile and head size was 50th. She's our healthy lil' moose. Tristan better be nice.

(sleepy eyes?)

We're working on getting her to smile, but usually just having her look at us is a challenge. She has her eyes closed most of the day, but when they're open they really are pretty. Maybe blue?

She's going to be just like Bubba! I took him to the doctors this week and he was 95th percentile for weight too. It's the best. He still is the best little sleeper because of it I think.

Aww she just keeps getting cuter and cuter!!! And I LOVE the first pic of her and Tristan! She just loves her big brother!! I remember when Nick would make noises when he slept! He was loud too and it would wake us up and I would just laugh! So cute! Mommyhood definitely suits you!! You are amazing :)

So cute. I can't believe it's been a month, though! Crazy! And I'm so glad she's such a good sleeper, you deserve one of those!
PS. the pic of she and Tristan on the couch is ridiculously cute.
