1 month!

I thought time flew by with one kid, but it's like super speed when you have two!  I can't believe that it's already been a month... where did my little newborn go?  Riley has gotten so big and she's turning into such a beautiful little girl. 

1 month

 

It's amazing how different she is from Madison, from the day she was born she had a completely different disposition.  Madison was either sleeping or eating, I would nurse her and she'd fall right asleep, you could hand her to anyone and it wouldn't wake her up... I spent many days with Madison just sleeping on my chest - well Riley is completely different!  

Riley is awake, WIDE awake!  She doesn't fall asleep nursing, she falls asleep being rocked {which is a lot of fun at 3am!}.  She doesn't sleep in my arms or on my chest, she sleeps on my legs.  I lay her on my legs and rock her back and forth and she falls right asleep.  If I try to move her, she wakes right up.  She knows when I'm not near, or in her eye sight and she starts crying.  She's a momma's girl, for now {I know it will change... she'll love her daddy like crazy, just like her big sister}.

My favorite thing about her are those EYES!  She has such a shocked expression, she cracks me up!  I love those BIG eyes and her silly faces she gives me :)

 

 

 

 When she's not staring at me with those big eyes, she's passed out...

 

 

 smiling in her sleep

love this one, I just want to kiss those cheeks!

 

 

 

 She had more visitors :)

Samantha was so good with her <3

She had her first bath, which was a little traumatic

 

 

and sadly when she's upset, she gets bright red, 

just like her momma

(sorry sweetie)

 Most days she's just kicking back and taking in her surroundings

She's already such an amazing little girl.  My dad described her perfectly... "She has an old soul" he said, and he's right.  You can tell when she looks at you that she's got it all figured out.  It's hard to explain, but if you meet her and look into her eyes, you'd understand. 

We love our little angel and we can't wait to watch her grow into a beautiful little girl, just like her big sister!
