So, I have come to realize I should have done these posts a little sooner because it is true what everyone says!! YOU WILL forget the days of her being so small!! It is sad for me to look back at pictures and think that I have forgotton what it was like when she was so tiny. As I LOVE the new stages that she goes through from day to day, I miss my sweet tiny baby!! One of the most memorable things that happened this month was her eyelashes. Jenna was born with tiny blond eyelashes and as I thought they were beautiful I had no idea she was going to have to use lots of mascara when she turned a teenager!
I don’t know if it was because she was 3 weeks early and didn’t have time to develop some of these last minute features or what, but one morning as I was feeding her I looked down and saw these BEAUTIFUL dark, long, lashes! Lashes I have always longed for. She is very blessed to beautiful long eyelashes to go with her beautiful blue eyes (so far they are still blue)!! She is doing all sorts of things that I never thought she would get to when she was so young. At 1 month old, I remember not sleeping all that much (she was a great sleeper at night) but it’s still just not the same sleep. I felt like all I was every doing was feeding her and it became more of a chore than anything. Tucker and I would fight over who was going to feed her when we heard the assigned wail! Jenna LOVED bathes at this age. Her umbilical cord fell off sometime within her 1st month and we were able to give her full bathes. It did fall off rather unusually giving her a slight hernia which Dr. Walker said would turn into an innie as soon as she started sitting on her own. We took our first walk on the beach in her Bob this month. She continued to make lots of friends this month as she met more and more of mom and dad’s friends and family. The Saints won the Super Bowl and she attended a Super Bowl party at Eddie Spence’s House! She slept most of the time even while everyone was cheering. She is so strong, holding her head up great. We still take way too many pictures!! She is still so tiny, still fitting into NB clothes. She LOVES the Moby. I am able to put her in the Moby and take her to the grocery store and spend as much time as I like because she goes straight to sleep. I am also able to take walks on the beach which she loves with the Moby. I highly recommend the Moby to any mom out there!!
At Jenna’s Month appointment she weighed 7lbs, 14oz and was 20.75 inches long. She is the prettiest baby I have ever seen and she gets prettier and prettier as each day passes!!
