1 Month

Dear Penelope~

I cannot believe you are one month old.  Where has the time gone?  Your dad and I have enjoyed having you in our home so much.  Words cannot fully express how much you have changed us for the better.  You fill our home with such a sweet spirit.  You have already taught me so many things.  I am learning more fully how to have patience, time management skills, and how to love in a way I never thought possible.  

You have become such a good nurser these past few weeks.  We never thought this day would come.  You are getting chubbier by the second.  You have the cutest rolls I have ever seen.  Your smile lights up the room.  It seriously goes from ear to ear.  Your mom and dad continually smoother you with kisses, who could blame us.  You have almost grown out of your newborn diapers.  Please stop growing.  It takes you a while to latch onto your binky, but once you do you love that thing.  We laugh at night hearing you go to town on it.  When you don't have your binky you are trying to suck on your fist or arm, it's hilarious.  Bath time is one of your favorite times of the day.  You must get that from your mom.  You love laying in your Mamaroo, but not as much as you love being held.  You love to sleep with your hands by your face. You still sleep constantly.  You are only awake a few minutes of the day.  The cutest sounds come out of your mouth.  Mom calls you her little bug, butterball, or birdie.  Dad calls you his little angel.  

We can't get enough of you.  We love you to the moon and back baby bird!

Love,

Your mama and papa
