| Happy one month birthday, Elizabeth! |
Miss Elizabeth is a month! It's been interesting to have a newborn again as it's been three years since we had Caroline. To be honest, I struggled at first with just being so tired and dealing with the daily grind of caring for three older kids along with a newborn. I was frustrated that I was still dealing with my dumb high blood pressure (still am, by the way) and was just so exhausted! Elizabeth could've been the world's most perfect newborn, and I think I still would have been spent.

I would call the month a success!
Elizabeth loves to be held and is SO alert! She is always watching everything and loves looking at lights and her siblings. She does NOT, however, like riding in the car. That doesn't bode well for all the traveling we do--better get used to it, baby girl! I've seen her smile a lot in her sleep but finally saw her smile AT ME on Thursday evening. I love newborn baby smiles.
Growth-wise, she's doing really well. She following in her siblings' footsteps and gained 2 1/2 pounds this month, putting her at 9 lb. 15 oz. She also grew 1.5 inches and is now 22.5 inches. I can see her cheeks filling out and her legs looking less chicken-like. We're still not exactly sure who she looks like but do know that she has Ryan's chin for sure! I often see glimpses of Jack, but it's still sort of hard at this age.
Elizabeth's brothers and sister love her! The boys are very attentive to her needs, and Caroline likes to hold her and pet her. :)
Jack also loves reading to Elizabeth.
Sisters already sharing secrets. I pray that they'll be best friends.

Grant cannot get enough of his littlest sister. It is so sweet.
