One Month Already?

I cannot believe that Mackayla is already one month old---where the heck did the time go?
Mackayla, at one month you are:
  • Turning your head when you hear our voices (especially Mackenzie's)
  • Starting to coo in response to us talking to you
  • Sleeping up to 5 or 6 hours (usually after a bath!)
  • Eating every 3-4 hours during the day
  • Puckering your lips up when you watch me talk to you
  • LOVING to lay on your Boppi on the couch next to us!
  • Watching Mackenzie, mesmerized, while she kisses you all over, shows you her toys, and sings to you. She also loves to stop you in mid-swing to give you kisses and talk to you. You have the best big sister EVER!
  • Getting ready for your first trip to Charlotte.
  • Smiling a lot while sleeping.
  • Completely wrapping your mommy, daddy, and sister around your finger!

We are having so much fun being a family of four. I was worried while I was pregnant that I wouldn't be able to handle both girls, that I wouldn't be able to show them both affection and attention----I worry no more! Mackenzie has been an absolute dream. She is so independent and helpful. At the same time, Mackayla is a model baby. She hardly ever cries, mostly just when it's feeding time! I have no more laundry than before--she only spits up occasionally, and even then I sometimes catch it with the burp cloth before it gets on her clothes!!! She usually only wears one outfit per day---I'm knocking on wood over here. :-) And we haven't had one "blow-out" diaper yet! I'd better stop before I completely jinx myself!

Happy One Month Birthday, Baby Girl!

MACKAYLA IS SUCH AN ANGEL, WE LOVE HER LITTLE LAUGH AND THOSE HUGE EYES! THE ONLY PROBLEM WE SEE IS THAT; SHE IS JUST GROWING TOO DARN FAST! WE UNDERSTAND WHY SHE ADORES HER BIG SISTER, MACKENZIE, WE DO, TOO!

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR TIME WITH BOTH GIRLS TOMORROW. BUT YOU MUST AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING FORM.

WE ARE PLEASED THAT AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF MARRIAGE, THE TWO OF YOU CONTINUE TO ENJOY DATING AND ALONE TIME. A GREAT RELATIONSHIP IS NOT ONLY GOOD FOR YOU, BUT THE WHOLE FAMILY. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY COUPLES DON'T TAKE THE TIME NEEDED TO WORK ON THEIR RELATIONSHIPS AND SADLY, WHEN THEY REALIZE THEY HAVE NOTHING LEFT IN COMMON, IT BECOMES TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! THE MARRIAGE ENDS AND THE WHOLE FAMILY SUFFERS!

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU TOMORROW.

LOTS OF LOVE,
PAPAW & NANA
