Jordan - 1 Month

It's hard to know where to start a post about Jordan (especially because it's so late). She continues to grow so much and change everyday. I feel so blessed to have such a happy, healthy baby and be able to spend my days taking care of her. All of the photos from her first month can be found here.

She continues to be a good sleeper - usually gets up once a night to eat. At this stage (1 month) her likes seem to sound like a personal ad: Jordan enjoys long walks on the beach (okay, walks anywhere), she enjoys sunsets (okay, any sunlight) and taking a long bath. She loves dogs - except when they lick too much.

What can you say about parenthood that hasn't already been said? Probably nothing. It's amazing and changes your life in a great way. You can't believe how much you love them before they are born, but at the moment they become yours- you truly feel your heart grow. It's a lot of work, but it's the best kind of work you can do. It changes your priorities and makes you want to do and be better yourself. Doug probably said it best. When we were out on our first date night (courtesy of babysitter Grandma Ceil)- I mentioned that our life was so much different now. He said, "I know, isn't it great?" Yes - it is.

Sign her up for the Olympic Swim Team -- she'll be ready by then. So darling!

I think Doug has officially traded in beers in the pool for babies in the pool! So excited to see you all soon!
