One month old

I can not believe that my little girl is one month old! Craziness. So here are some things to remember from this first month.


- Dad's nickname for you is "squirmy" because you move around so much.
- Mom calls you "the girlie" to dad a lot of the time.
- Dad says one of his favorite things is your cute little nose. Let's hope you don't have your mom's nose or it will get big.
- Your sister loves to watch you suck on your pacifier. She likes to look at the inside of it and says that it looks like a fish.
- Danniqa is also VERY good with you. She picks you up, watches your head carefully, helps get you dressed and picks up your clothes.
- We don't really know if you look like mom or dad. Sometimes Dad says you look like mom, but mom disagrees.
- Mom loves to just sit and look at you. I can sit all day long and stare at you and watch all of your faces and positions.
- It appears that you may have dark blue eyes.
- Your hair looks different in different lights. Some of the colors that have been seen are red, golden, brown, blonde. Whatever color it is is beautiful.
- You cross your legs Indian style with them drawn really close in to your body. I am sure that this is how you were inside of mommy's tummy.
- You have gone on your first trip to Canada. This means you have gone to all of your grandparents homes.
- Danniqa was playing with you this month and said "sad face" and you gave a her a sad face. Then she said "happy face" and at that moment you happened to smile. It was the biggest smile and Danniqa and I cracked up laughing.
- Dad swears that you rolled over on June 30th from your back to your stomach..... however, the bed was slanted and mom totally disagrees with him.
- You pose all of the time. You make so many cute faces and do things with your hands. We love to watch, laugh and take pictures.
- You love to have your hands by your face when you sleep. A lot of the time when of your hands or arms are over your face.
- Mom and dad both left you at the same time for the first time on the 25th. This was the longest mom had been away but we went out on a date. It about killed mom and dad kept laughing at her the whole time. However, Grandpa and Grandma Taylor took good care of you.
- At your two week doctor's appointment you were back to your birth weight and the doctor said you were perfect.
-Your sister LOVES to hold you. She will jsut sit and hold you all day if we let her. Many times we will ask her if she wants to go and play and she says no. She just wants to hold you.
- You love bath time. You just don't like it when it is over and you are taken out of the water.
-You are sleeping better at night. Most times you now wake up and eat and go back to sleep. You still eat a couple times a night. Mom is very grateful!
- Everyone who sees you tells me how little and beautiful you are. I already believe you are beautiful but I am biased. But when strangers tell me that I have to believe it. :)
- You have so many people who absolutely love you.
-Your cousins in Canada are so excited to have a baby cousin. They loved meeting you.
- You have two other little cousins that were born the same week as you.
- You are now sleeping at times with your legs out as opposed to rolled up in a ball.

Miss Jana Grace, we are so lucky and blessed to have you in our lives. I have enjoyed having you with me and love you so much!
