My sweet girl turned one month yesterday! Time goes by way too fast! She has grown and changed a lot since we brought her home from the hospital. Of course we documented her one month with a mini photo session. Haylee is one month old. 6.9 lbs - 20 inches She loves: smiling sticking her tongue out sleeping with her mouth open holding your finger warm baths sleeping at night for 4 hours family and friends her pacifier sound of heavy rain snuggling and cuddling her bouncer/rocker/swing stroller walks and car rides She hates: diaper changes selfies her bassinet naps in the daytime gassy belly At one month Haylee is cooing and grunting, lifting her head for a minute here and there, rolling onto her side, grabbing fingers and mommy's hair, smiling, working on her crawling (kicking her legs and moving) Watch this video of Haylee Marie doing tummy time, having hiccups, and her first bath!
