One month

Taylor is one month old! Actually, she'll be 5 weeks tomorrow. She went to the doctor just to get weighed today and she is 8lbs, 5ozs! She's gained almost 2 whole pounds since she was born! You may not be able to tell from the pictures but she really is getting big...she's losing that "newborn" look. She's really starting to act older too...she's doing lots of new things! She holds her head up really good now(which she's done for awhile). She notices everything...when you talk to her she holds your gaze, and when you walk by she follows you with her eyes. She's also starting to get more active...she's constantly wiggling, kicking, and squirming. She's even batted at her toys in her bouncy seat a few times! She's starting to find her voice too. She makes little cooing noises, especially right after she's eaten. It's really cute Ü Oh, and if she gets ahold of your hair, look out! She's got a really strong grip! It's exciting to see her changing and growing right before our eyes, but sad too. I love it that she's so little and cuddly, and I know that it isn't going to last much longer. Soon she'll be smiling and playing, crawling and teething. As much as I'm looking forward to all of those moments, I wouldn't mind stopping time for just a little while... so I can smell that new baby smell for just a little while longer Ü
