Dear Ava,
Happy 1 month birthday! You have been such a wonderful addition to our family and I'm so happy you're finally here with us. I love you so much more than I ever thought possible. Even though I'm completely sleep deprived because you refuse to sleep without being right next to me, I'm still so grateful you've come into our lives and I can't even remember how we ever lived without you.
So far you've been a pretty good baby...especially compared to these babies I read about on other Mommy blogs. You don't seem to have colic (knock on wood) and you're generally a very happy kid...as long as somebody is holding you! You're our little cuddle bug and I'm loving every moment! You do have a few quirks....You are a breastmilk snob! You seriously won't take formula from me! After tasting the bottle, you give me a disgusted look and spit it out. I just tried mixing the formula with breastmilk today for the first time...It's seems to have worked! LOL-tricked ya! Also, what's up with your nighttime routine??? Why must you snack from 9-12...that's 3 hours straight?!?!? just drink already! Also, feel free to start accepting the fact that babies sleep by themselves! I love snuggling with you but everytime I end up waking up in a HUGE panick..."Did I suffocate my baby?!?!?" Thankfully every time I look down you're safely tucked right into my belly :)
You're really starting to become you're own little person...you love bath time and love when your Daddy gets home from work! You've only smiled for Daddy, with exception to a lollipop I let you lick on Monday. That's alright though, I know we'll share many smiles and laughs in the future....for now I'll just enjoy my little cuddly ladybug :)
I love you always,
Mommy
