One Month old!

Today officially marks one month since we had McKinley! Travis and I can't believe it's already been a month, but also we can't believe it's only been a month that we've had her here! I can tell she's getting bigger! Her cheeks are a little fuller and she's getting a little bit of a tummy. She was so long and skinny when she was born it's cute that she's starting to fill out a little! You can see her chubby cheeks in this video of her sleeping. We say when she does this in her sleep she's dreaming about eating... It's pretty cute :)




She still likes to sleep a lot and takes quite a bit of naps! She'll eat every 3 hours stay awake for about 15-30 minutes, then go back to sleep again. That's kind of her schedule. Most nights she sleeps pretty good and only wakes up 1 to 2 times to eat, so we're getting a lot more sleep around here which is really nice :)


McKinley likes to be held and doesn't like it too much when we put her down! High Maintenance, haha! She's found a few things that she likes though. She likes her swing and will usually fall asleep if we put her in it.


She also likes to lounge around in her boppy pillow. We'll put her in it when she's having some awake time so we can talk with her and play with her. Here's a video of her playing around in her boppy. A nickname we gave her is Squeaks, because she likes to make lots of squeaking noises when she's awake. You can hear some of them in this video:



It's fun to put toys in front of her because she'll focus on them and follow them with her eyes, a new skill we discovered she's developed. We love our little girl so much and have loved having her here with us! She's a lot more fun outside of me than she was inside :) She makes us smile everyday! We love to cuddle with her, watch her move around, and listen to her squeak! We're so grateful for the wonderful blessing she is in our lives and that she is a healthy little girl!
