One Month...

Love those cheeks!

Ready to go

It is hard to believe Katherine is one month old!  In a way it seems like she has been with us forever and it is already hard to remember what life was like before she came a long.  At one month old Katherine is a pretty happy baby except when she is hungry.  This girl is serious about meal time!  She is nursing every 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours during the day and has gone 4 1/2 hours at night.  Hopefully this will start to get better in the coming weeks.  Although I know they are not "real" smiles Katherine has the cutest facial expressions.  She grins, smiles and coos usually right before she is getting ready to fall asleep. She also is a noisy sleeper!  She groans, grunts, sighs and so forth.  Paul and I have said we need to get it on video because it is so loud!  Bath time is becoming tolerable for her now and she also does well with tummy time.

She is a very strong little girl and is not fond of laying on your chest.  She usually thrusts herself to either side to lay in the cradle of your arm.  Diaper changes are still not fun for her as she usually starts crying as soon as the diaper comes off.  Gone are the days of worrying if she was going to gain weight...she is becoming our little chunk!  She has rolls on her arms and thighs now and numerous chins!  We are so delighted sweet Katherine is a part of our family and are blessed to get to see her grow and change every day.
