Our baby girl is 1 month!!!

The last month seems like it has flown by so fast.  It feels like only yesterday we were coming home with Gabriela. Life with her has been fantastic.  She is such a loving and easy going baby, she is rarely fussy, and is great with all the movement around her.  Most of all she has been wonderful will all the hugs, kisses and constant attention from her older siblings... they couldn't love her any more!

Some highlights of her recent activity:
- 8 lbs 4 oz at 1 month
- she is smiling more regularly (lots while asleep, but starting more while awake).
- is almost sleeping through the night (wakes up once to nurse around 4am)
- has discovered her hands, it's so cute watching her play with her fingers
- has had longer alert periods, she loves looking around now.  Over the last week we have noticed her really exploring the room around her.
- she has started being vocal.  We have heard her "talk" to us about 4 times now in the last week!  Her little vocalizations are soo cute.
 
Gabi is so sweet and peaceful.  We all love watching and holding her.  She brings calm into our lives, we feel so blessed!
