**I originally didn't post this because my 4 weeks post was on the same day, but I decided I wanted it up here for posterity's sake :) Just look at that tiny little baby! My how she has changed...**
Dear Annie,
Today you are one month old! Your dad and I have loved getting to know you over this past month - I'm sorry that sometimes we get frustrated with you - but sometimes you are just a silly thing that has all her needs met but still seems angry! It has taken us about this whole month to really start to feel like you are our daughter - it was a very surreal experience so far for both your dad and I to have a child. I do well with routines and predictability, and you definitely threw both of those things right out the window! Now after spending the last month with you, we both love you more than you will ever know, and we would do anything for you, including rock you to sleep for a millionth time that night, and feed you even though you JUST ATE!
We are starting to figure out what you like - you like to have your butt and back patted while you are held upright on my shoulder, you enjoy having lotion put on while we turn the hair dryer on warm to keep you toasty, you love being rocked in your Daddy's arms, mostly when he is standing up, you like REALLY loud music, and sometimes enjoy car rides, but other times you HATE them! You are a picky little bugger :) But then again, so are we, so you come by it honestly!
You are unequivocally the CUTEST little baby we've ever seen - you have the best expressions! Sometimes you look just plain crazy, but even then you are so cute! I love it when you purse your lips in a little bow shape when you are done eating, and when you stick your little tongue out! You are the MOST cute when you are sleeping - you just look so peaceful - although sometimes you keep a grimace on your face the entire time you're sleeping which is hilarious. Your little hands and feet are adorable - you kick them around when we are changing your diaper, and you love to grab onto my shirt really hard when you are eating - sometimes you accidentally stick your hands in your mouth instead of the nipple, and then you get angry :) I love when you hold my hand with your little smooth hand when you are eating. You are at your happiest right after you eat and that's when we like to mess around with you, trying to get you to "play" with your toys and have conversations with us :)
One thing your dad and I are hoping you grow out of is how loud you are when you sleep, and how fitful your sleep is! This is another thing you may have inherited from me - I'm a horrible sleeper and I hope you can be better than I am! I didn't become a horrible sleeper until adulthood though, so there may be hope for you yet! You grunt, squirm, squeak and sometimes make a cry when you sleep, so your dad and I lay tense, waiting for your next move :)
We are both so excited to see how you continue to grow and change, and to see the person that you will become! We love you, little Annie!
Love, Mom
