Tessa Joy - 1 Month

i cannot believe tessa is already one month old. they say time flies and to cherish every second with them... boy, they were not kidding!



weight: 8 pounds and 11.2 oz (at three weeks)

height: 22.5 inches

nicknames: tess, nug, baby

hates: getting dressed, wet diapers

loves: baths, riding in the car, when dad talks to her, staring out windows

milestones: can follow the sound of our voices by moving her head back and forth, has a very strong neck and can hold her head up pretty steady on her own for a good two minutes or so. 



tessa joy,

you are one month old. i tried to soak in every bit of your newborn sweetness, but your first month still flew by. you just grew out of some of your newborn clothes (you have long legs!). you eat every 2 - 3 hours during the day and every 4 - 5 hours at night. you have always been a good eater! you gulp down milk as fast as possible sometimes making yourself choke. you also take a bottle from your dad with no problem (the couple times you needed extra). you went on your first target trip with me when you were 3.5 weeks old. you did so well until we got to the checkout. you decided it was time to eat and you wanted to eat now. you screamed so loud i think the whole store heard you. i hope you always have a strong voice baby. your daddy and i praise god for you every day. we are still in awe that he blessed us with you, a baby girl. you are such a good baby. you love to be cuddled and talked to more than anything. you have been a great sleeper from the beginning, and those few hard nights we've had have only given me the opportunity to pray for you as i try to rock you back to sleep. the only time you seem to cry is if you're hungry, or have a wet diaper. we are so blessed to have you baby! we love you more than anything and you have our hearts!

- love mom and dad
