One Month!

Our sweet baby is one month today! It has gone by fast, and we have survived many ups and downs over the last four weeks, including daddy going back to work, Mimi leaving for Michigan, Poppa working hard on our house, Mother's day, getting the flu, Collin cutting his two-year molars...phew!! A lot of changes, and many blessings.

Yes, we went back to church after only two weeks (and yes..I had to try to find an outfit in my closet that would fit) BUT...it was a special Parent/Child Dedication service (and it was Mother's day!) Fortunately, my recovery from the c-section has been a lot easier this time around so I actually felt like getting out and attending church to worship!

Funny moment with Pastor Barry. Ainsley's "automatic baby feeding bottle"..either that or she has really strong jaw muscles :-)

Pic at three weeks. Even though I haven't been a parent long, I have ascribed to the "each child is different" school of parenting, and Ainsley has so far proven to be pretty different than her brother. She nurses pretty well, doesn't cry a whole lot, makes girly squeaks and funny noises. Oh yeah, she spits up quite a bit more! She can fall asleep without being swaddled (which is probably a good thing in this Georgia heat!) Ainsley has dark hair and the teeniest little girly feet. She doesn't mind her brother's kisses and tickles, but I'm not sure how long that will last!
