One Month

Has it really been one month (and a few days)?!?!?! It has been a wonderful month. Gabby is truly a blessing. She had her one month appointment on Thursday and she is up to 8lbs. 10oz. and is now 21 inches long! She is growing like a weed. She also sleeps like a champ. She will go down around 11:00pm, get up between 4:00 and 5:00am and then sleep til about 8:30am. We can handle that! She isn't much for naps, so sometimes our days get a little rough if she has a day where she only cat naps. Gabby loves to take a bath and is really an all around great baby. We are spoiled!

Daddy has gone back to work and we have been on our own for a week now. It has been tough, but we have made it to the halfway point! We miss Daddy very much and can't wait for him to come home! 

Enjoy the pictures. Two are from her newborn pictures at 11 days and the others are from this week.

Gabby's first Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Week 2

It makes me sad to say that Gabby is 2 weeks old today! I know that it is great that she is growing and thriving, but I also feel like time is going too quickly. In week 2, Gabby has slept through the night a couple of times already. Most of the time she only gets up once to feed and goes back to sleep fairly quickly. She sleeps most of the day still, but we are beginning to see more of her eyes. The highlights of the week was her first picnic and our first and second trips to a restaurant. She was such a great baby on all of our outings!

Gabby's newborn pictures were taken last Friday and they are beautiful! I can't wait to share them with everyone. Amazingly enough, she was wide awake during the pictures so we have many with her eyes open!

Gabby has her first out of town visitors, Grandma Mary and Aunt Tracy. Uncle Steve is in town as well, but we haven't seen too much of him since it was homecoming weekend at MTSU! (FYI - the Blue Raiders blew out Western Kentucky this weekend!) She also went to her first party! Our friends Jimmy and Erin are expecting Hudson in January and their shower was this weekend. Gabby had a blast!

One Week Old

The week has flown by, but happy one week birthday to Gabby! We are still in awe of her and still amazed that she is here. Her first week of life has been exciting for her. We have taken a few car rides to get out of the house, she has been visited by friends and today we will go to the pediatrician. She also has been a great eater and a pretty good sleeper. Our nights haven't been too bad...in fact we had our first "sleep through the night" (at least to us) night last night. She was fussy fron midnight til 2:00am and then she slept til 8:00am this morning. Mommy and Daddy appreciated that for sure!

We are so fortunate to have her! She is a true blessing to us and we can't believe how much love we have for her!

I'm not sure why the one picture won't turn the right way, sorry, but it is her one week photo!
