Raelin's First Month

This month has flown by. I'm happy to be seeing her grow so much but sad at the same time. Her one month check up was just the other day and she's 10lbs 11 oz. and 22 inches long. She had her hearing test also and passed with flying colors :)
 
She crosses her legs just like Trev does


just hanging out



such alittle baby in such a big bed lol


I love watching her sleep and catching those little smiles. I wanna know what she dreams about :) 


playing on her mat, she prefers 2 of the toys over the other 2 so she scooted down from the middle to play with them. She also started looking at the mirror on it too



mornings are full of smiles



after her shot at the doctors we came home and she fell asleep in her chair :( poor think also had a slight fever

 
she loves to sleep with her hands by her head lol

grandma and Raelin watching TV 


 
 good morning to you too :D
 
 
 love her little laughs, I like to think I'm just funny and she thinks so too :P



she sleeps in her little bassinet when shes not sleeping in our bed lol 


first time she took her pacifier...she really hasn't taken it too much since



she enjoys sucking on her fingers though


she fell asleep in my arms and I wanted to organize her room so I laid her in her crib and slept for a good 20 min. I know she'll love sleeping in her room when that times comes.

 
 
When we saw this, Trev and I just had to laugh, she's just chillin' in her bassinet with her legs crossed
 
 
never getting sick of those :) 



 caught her sucking on her thumb for the 1st time and let me sleep in a couple extra minutes :)


 
it looks like she's mad but she's actually kind of giggling and making baby noises lol

 
 
she's already trying to tell daddy what to do lol



you can't see her face but she's trying to tell me what to do too lol




Raelin's 1st bath. She really enjoys it until she has to get out. It was cute the 2nd time we gave her a bath she slept 1/2 way though it :P




1st time in her swing and she felt asleep. She likes being in it most of the time now



had to make this shirt just for Trev :)





 

 


the day Trev had to leave for underway Raelin was sad and so was I




standing at the pier waving good bye to daddy

 
I pretty much love this carrier especially for how long we have to wait on the pier to see them off

 
bye daddy, we'll see you soon


 
 


 
(Disclaimer: NO babies were hurt in the making of this photo)
The only thing that would make this photo better would be the other 5 kids standing in a line after Raelin lol
