Happy 1 Month Birthday!

I can't believe our little girl is 1 month old today!  We had a nice weekend at the Hales.  Kayla met a lot of people from down in Virginia Beach (but still seems to have so many people to meet.)  She went to her first birthday party (happy first birthday Brady), met her first of seven Great Grandparents, and met her cousin Evelyn.  She did pretty well considering on the car rides and yesterday we had her one month doctor's appointment.  Here are some important notes from the appointment.

Weight: 8 pounds 10 ounces (great weight gain since last time!)

Length: 22 inches (according to the nurse, like 95th percentile for length and 45th for weight...long and skinny!)

Head Circumference: 14.5 inches

Milestones (per Mommy and Daddy): Focusing on objects, tracking Mom and Dad around the room, ALMOST smiling on purpose!

The nurse practitioner said she is really strong, she practically stood on her own when the nurse held her up and she held her head perfectly still.  We already knew this as she is flipping herself over the front of the boppy.  She got her first (well second) shot and Mommy handled it quite well (as did Kayla!)  She has a mild umbilical granuloma which should heal itself otherwise they will try to use silver nitrate on it at her next appointment.  The nurse said she is doing great and was very impressed with her weight gain and strength!  We are such proud parents.

Here are some one month photos with my little monthly stickers from Justin's cousin Allison (thank you!)

P.S. I added a new link to our "potential" SmugMug page on the right.  It's still a work in progress but I'll be putting most photos on here instead of facebook.  Hopefully getting some professional shots done next week.
