Ali is One Month Old

Ali is one month old today!    She got to celebrate with her daddy as I had to go to work for the day. I'm not officially back until after spring break but I have 3 days of scheduling high school students for the 2015-16 school year.  I missed my buddy today.

 Aunt Kelley did Ali's pictures on Tuesday morning. They turned out amazing! The reason her mouth is slightly open in most of the pictures is because we had to use the pacifier to calm her down, pull it out, and take a picture before she started to fuss.

Here is one of my favorite pictures.  This chair was my great grandmother's.

Little feet

No pacifier.

Some things I want to remember about Ali's first month.

She just finished her last newborn diapers and is now in 1's

She is wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes because she is too "tall" for newborn clothes.

She eats every 3 to 4 hours.

When we rock her to sleep she likes to be sung to.  Last night at 4am the only song I could think of was the Doc McStuffin theme song (a Disney channel show Caroline loves) so I sang that to her and she seemed to like it.

She likes baths, the carseat and her sister

I had to stop eating gluten, spicy foods and caffeine because it seems to bother her. 

Here is a book Aunt Dondi sent to Caroline for her birthday.  We had a ton of Mercer Mayer books growing up so I'm glad to continue the traditions. 

Snow day on Monday.

Caroline helping me with scheduling: notice that some of the grade labels have a orange colored pencil marks.

Caroline reading to Ali tonight.  She likes to rub her head.
