One Month Old

We can't believe our baby girl is already one month old! She has changed so much already, but we are loving every moment with her. I'm dreading having to go back to school and not be with her all day long. So here are few things we love about Piper that have taken place in the last month. She's earned a nick name - Wookie, which Chris gave her because of the sound she makes when she's mad crying, he says she sounds like an Ewok. Also her sad cry is precious when she pouts and sticks out that bottom lip. Her eyes are so expressive and she's beginning to make more eye contact rather than focusing on our foreheads. She's passed her birth weight - woohoo! She's at 8 lbs. 3 oz. and Dr. Smalley said we didn't have to come back for another wright check until 2 months. She's steadily growing on the 25% curve, but that's ok. She's really enjoying laying around and stretching out so she can explore what her legs and arms can do. We're working on a schedule, it needs to be adjusted slightly, but we have time before I have to go back to school for 2 weeks. Poor Piper has developed either a severe case of baby acne (inherited from her mother) or an allergic reaction rash all over her face to her Prevacid medicine for acid reflux. Poor baby! So don't zoom in on the pictures and embarass the poor girl. This is Piper in her Lamb chair right when she came home from the hospital.

This is her one month picture in the Lamb chair. Even though she's been slow on the weight gain, she really appears to have grown to Chris and I. We think she's longer and her thighs are filling out the leg holes in the diapers. We even had to go up to the next size.

Her first bath in the tub. She usually enjoys this time, unless her tummy hurts.

Also we had professional newborn pictures taken of Piper when she was 8 days old. They turned out amazing! But it's just more proof of how our little girl has changed. Here's the link to check them out - http://emilythurmondphotographyblog.com/piper-day-8-flower-mound-newborn-photographer/.
