Audrey is 1 Month!

You I can't believe Audrey is a month old today, but I also can't believe everything that's happened in the past month! Amazing what a week in the NICU does. We're finally getting in the routine of a family of five. I would have to say right now Audrey may be the easiest family member : ).

Audrey is such a doll! I've never seen a more relaxed and easy going baby. During the day she still naps quite a bit. When she is awake she is really getting strong. She does tummy time and completely lifts her head up. She grabs onto things constantly, mostly my hair. I think I had cut off my hair before he boys were this age, so I don't remember it as much, but she gets a grip on it and won't let go. She's a big "talker" also. She came out of the womb grunting and cooing, and that has continued. If she is awake, she is probably making a noise of some sort. I think it's more coos now than it used to be. She's also doing some smiles. She's done a couple right at me, but I think they might still be related to reflexes and not social quite yet...but they're still adorable! 

For being one of my kids, she's actually a great sleeper at night too. Last night she only woke up one time. The best part is, she wakes up to eat and then goes right back to sleep. At this age with the boys we were still at the point where I could my even count the number of times they woke up in the middle of the night. It's so much easier to enjoy a newborn when you're not exhausted. I've never had this opportunity before : ).

Audrey has been exactly what this boys family needed. I never could have imagined how sweet the boys were going to be with her. They want to hug her and kiss her all day long. She even has Chris saying things like, "She's just soooo cute in that outfit" in a sweet little voice. We are so happy to have this sweet little girl in our family now!

(This was last week. I went to get her because she was grunting and she had completely rolled over and had gotten a leg out of her pajamas. And there's no sheet on her bed because she had peed/pooped/spit up on every one in the house and they were in the wash : ) ).
