The other night I was updating the baby book and flipped right past the 1 month milestone page then I realized that I was able to fill it out. Holy crap! I already have a 1 month old. Amazing how much she has changed already and how fast time really does go. We had our first girls only weekend when Rhett went to Missouri to deer hunt for the weekend. It was the first of many I'm sure! I went to Creative Bent to view the newborn pictures and as always awesome! It was difficult to narrow them down for the album but I did it. The birth announcements we designed should hopefully come in soon. At 3 weeks old Lainey went on her first sushi date with Aunt Erin, Aunt Meghan, Roxy & Cole. Also the first of many!!! That was fun with 3 car seats in one vehicle. We attended our first basketball game to watch Aunt Jaimee coach her grade school girls. It is still a little overwhelming to breastfeed in public but getting easier each time. We have had some good visits with friends including Allie & Avire, Sarah bringing over Sydney & Natalie, Lindsey bringing over Lucas, Jess bringing over Brynn, and we visited Sarah & Brooke! So many friends with babies is soooo fun!! At 4 weeks old we switched to 0-3 month clothes and 1's in diapers. My baby is growing and growing too fast already. Taking all the newborn clothes out of the drawer was so sad. Lainey's cheeks are getting chubbier by the day and she now has a little double chin. Our visit with Santa was great. We went to City Hall in Red Bud and Allie & Avrie went along. What a great set-up. Rhett & I had a date day to Olive Garden and the movies. She slept the whole time while we ate so we decided to be brave and hit Ronnie's cinema. We seen Catching Fire and it was very good. I was super nervous when the noise started so loud but it never even phased Lainey. She woke up once to eat and for a diaper change on Daddy's lap. Are we crazy or what!!!!!! Taking a 4 week old to the movies! Of course afterwards we had to get a pic for the baby book bc their is a spot for 1st movie outing. 
On Thanksgiving Day we celebrated Lainey's baptism and it was a beautiful service. Everything was just perfect. Lots of family and friends came to help us celebrate. We had a yummy meal afterwards. Thank you everyone for all the great gifts for our girl. We appreciate it all. I have been trying to read to her often at night time. New discoveries include her tongue and her fist has found her mouth occasionally. She loves laying on Mommy & Daddy's chest to nap and cuddle. One night (just one) Lainey slept for 5 hours. Ahhhh I woke up at our normal time and she was still snoozing away. I then woke up hour and half later and she was still sleeping I was about fit to be tied. I stood over the crib watching her and putting my hand on her belly. When she finally did make a peep it wasn't much but I snatched her out of that crib and snuggled her up. We have also begun using the swing more often. Lainey & I both love the boppy!! I'm not sure why she loves it but it keeps her happy and that's why I love it! Had her 1 month appointment at the Dr's office and our chunky monkey now weighs 9 lbs 9 oz, 22" long, head circumference 14 1/4. She is healthy as can be! We have much to be thankful for!! The month of November was an eventful one and I can't wait to see what December brings!!
