1 Month!

This past Saturday marked Kayla's 1 month birthday! To celebrate, Kayla and I went to lunch with Gigi and Gramps at Willie's before making our first trip to Target. Let's just say we had quite the experience! After about 15 minutes Kayla decided that she was hungry so Gigi and I made our way down to the baby section to pick up some formula and water (we are currently supplementing her feedings with some formula a couple times a day). Then we mixed her bottle and fed her as we walked around the store. An hour later (yes, we browsed all the aisles) I was exhausted so we checked out and headed back to Gigi's house. Evidently Kayla was tired too because she fell asleep about 2 minutes after we got in the car!

Shortly thereafter, it was time for Kayla and I to make our way to Rice for the Rice/Tulsa game. Daddy met us in the parking lot to help get her in the stroller then walked us over to the tailgate so she could meet everyone. We stayed for about 30 minutes before it was time for us to head home and watch the game on tv (the combination of the flu season and the rain coming down isn't exactly the best thing for a 1 month old). Unfortunately, Rice lost so we're hoping that Kayla's pink/brown owl outfit will be better luck next weekend!!

It's hard to believe that it's already been a month since Kayla's arrival. Looking back, it feels as though it's been a few really long days with some naps along the way. Lately though, Kayla has decided to sleep anywhere from 5 to 7 hours during the night which has been a blessing to Mommy and Daddy! While we have enjoyed the extra sleep, I have to admit that I still wake up every couple hours and lean over to look in her cradle just to make sure she is OK! Speaking of sleeping, that's what she is doing now so it's best that I do the same!

In closing, I'll leave you with a picture from her bath earlier tonight. Thankfully, she loves bath time!!!
