one month

Bennett is one month old today! And you know what that means...photoshoot! ha!  

Both of my kids are going to hate having their picture made!  Porter is actually getting a little better, because he wants to be in the pics with Bennett--but when she figures out she hates the camera, I'm in trouble!

Case in point: she really wasn't into having a camera lens in her face today--she did NOT want to give up the paci!

It's hard to believe it's already been one whole month since she was born!!  It's gone by soooo fast, and is very bitter sweet! While I'm ready for her to get a little older and sleep a little longer at night, it's sad to know that she's already growing up so fast before our eyes! 

Things Bennett loves at one month:

being held

her paci

eating--she's even had a couple of bottles and she likes them a little more

porter (especially when he's being silly--she'll stare at him forever!)

sleeping in our bed in the mornings with daddy (I think they both like that!)

the swing, bouncy seat, playmat

her hands (they are always in her face!)

bathtime

her crib mobile (even though it totally clashes with her bedding ;))

Things she doesn't like:

NOT being held :)

losing her paci when she's trying to sleep

Porter's singing (it's a little loud & high pitched)

wet/dirty diapers

being naked--she likes her clothes!  good thing since we have so many!
the swing, bouncy seat, playmat (it's a love/hate thing)

Some days I think we have a "schedule" and then the next day I realize we have NONE!  She sleeps from about 10pm-10am getting up about 2-3 times to eat.  She nurses about every 3 hours--sometimes more during the day and less at night (which I'll take!! I need all the extra sleep I can get!)
But we're thankful for every exhausting day with her!!

She was sooo over having her picture made today...I really wanted to have her professional newborn pictures done here at home, so I could get some in her crib...since that didn't work out I decided to take some today. (looking back I should have done them a few weeks ago when you could move her, etc and she would just sleep right through it!)
The lighting in her room is terrible, and she was not giving up her paci without screaming so this is the best I got!

her "stats" at one month:
10 pounds 2 ounces--80%
22.5 inches in length--75%
