1 Month Old

Taken from Letters to Eva (our book to our little girl)

Dear Eva Kate,
Today you are 1 month old. The days pass by too quickly. Our first month together has been so sweet. I love being your mama so much and truly thank God for every day. You have blessed my life and added love and laughter to our family.

Your days right now are spent mostly eating and sleeping. Nursing you takes a lot of time and work, but I actually love it more than I thought I would. I enjoy our quiet moments together and seeing how exited you get when you know you are about to eat. When I put a bib on you, you get a really cute look on your face that tells me you know what is about to happen next. This week we started giving you a bottle once a day.

Daddy and I love you so much. We like it when you sleep well but sometimes we joke around with each other about who gets to wake you up because we both miss you while you are asleep. Right now you sleep in your pack and play in our room at night and take naps in your crib or swing during the day.

You love to be swaddled and rocked to sleep. Sometimes when we want to play with you, you get too sleepy and crash right where you are.

And then there are other times when I know you are tired and I rock you for a long time only to look down and see your bright, wide awake eyes looking right back at me. When you are more awake and alert you like to read books with me and spend time sitting around in your boppy cushion.


We've also started giving you tummy time each day. You don't love it but you enjoy it more when we make it a family affair.

Even Cosby helps! I should have probably started this earlier, but honestly, I forgot until this week. I'm learning to be a mommy just like you are learning to be a baby.

You are the best, most fun gift I've ever received. Right now you are asleep and it makes my heart smile just to think about getting to see your little face when you wake up!

I have a few more things to get done..... so keep sleeping, baby :)
love,
Mama
