What A Month!

Today is Macy's 1 month birthday!  We can't believe our baby girl is already a month old.  We also can't believe how much has happened and how our lives have changed in the past month!  Having a newborn can be challenging and exhausting as all new parents know, but she is such a joy that all the lost sleep is worth it! 

Macy is really changing lately.  Not only is she growing like a weed, but she has really started getting stronger and gaining more control of her body!  She can lift her head and hold it up pretty well on her own!  She also has started taking interest in toys and other things around her, and is much more engaged in her environment.  She LOVES watching the animals on the mobile on her swing go around and she LOVES music and singing!  She has also started smiling at us!

Here are a couple of pictures from her attempted 1 month photo shoot.  I decided to take her picture with her bear from Uncle Markie and Aunt Jen each month as a reference point to see her grow!:

The best one we managed to get

A much more accurate portrayal of how the "photo shoot" went

Seriously, mom, enough already!

Grandma & Grandpa Polega visited over the weekend and mom and dad got to go out to eat for the first time since bringing Macy home!   I thought this picture with Grandpa was cute.

We are excited for warmer weather and summer around the corner.  We can't believe how fast Macy is growing and look forward to more milestones this month!
