For those of you that have already purchased a t-shirt in support of our adoption fundraiser...THANK YOU!!  And don't forget to send a candid photo of you wearing the t-shirt so it can be included into Daphne's Adoption Scrapbook.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support...love to all.

Daphne - One Month Old

1 month old.
How could this be baby girl?
Cannot believe that time is flying by this fast...
Mommy and Daddy just want to bundle you up and keep you little forever...
And at the same time, we love to watch you grow.
To watch your personality unwind right in front of our eyes.
To watch you as you discover life.
To just watch you.
We could do that forever.
Sit there. And Stare.
You woke up this morning so adorable...we gave you ten million gazillion kisses and told you 
how much we love and adore you.
We LOVE you baby girl. so. so. much.

So much has happened this past month. Let's take a look...

Feeding: You continue to eat about every 2-3 hours during the day and sometimes 3-4 hours during the night...definitely a growing baby!

Weight: 
At birth: 5lbs 7oz
One Month:  5lbs 13 oz; last doctor visit (on 01-25) you were gaining an ounce a day! Dr. visit on Friday of this week will tell us more.

Length:  
At birth: 16.9 inches
One Month: 17.3 inches

Diaper Size:
Newborn and you are going through about 10 a day...depending.   :)

Clothes Size:
Newborn, but some brands of 0-3 months fit as well!

Hair Color:
At birth: Very dark
Month: still pretty dark and it looks like it might stay

Eye color:
At birth: Very dark blue with a hint of charcoal gray
One Month: think they are here to stay, those baby blues! but not sure yet what version of blue they will be...

You are constantly staring at everything around you. The lights. The fans. The walls. You name it, you are just taking it all in. You are more alert.  You love to snuggle, and would rather be sleeping on mommy or daddy than anywhere else. We are enjoying these precious moments that you are small enough to sleep on our chests, with your sweet little head nestled under our chin.

You are a unique, beautiful, precious jewel, and we are so happy to call you our daughter.
