Hayley is a month old already!

Today Hayley Elizabeth turns one month old. She weighs 10 pounds and is 22 inches long. She changes everyday and watching her turn into this person with a personality is so amazing. I cherish every moment.

Hayley has had so many visitors, it is awesome. She has already met so many people from my big family, even Uncle Peter who lives in Colorado has been by. Dave's mother is here this week, and his family is much more spread out, so we're both so glad she was able to come up to spend time with us. Hopefully we'll see the rest of his family soon. Here is a picture of Hayley with my Aunt Betsy:

Hayley has really begun to be intrigued by lights and colors and sounds. We took out our baby einstein mobile mat and it has this cute star that plays music and lights up in all different colors to the beat of the song. She absolutely loves it and lays on her back and looks up at it. She stays there quite content for awhile.

We love to watch this baby sleep! She is just so precious! This picture shows her favorite position. She likes to have her arm under her head like that. It's so cute!
We looked at places this week to put Hayley into daycare when I go back to work in November. We actually looked at the new Little Acorns, now called Children's Lighthouse. But we then went to a place called Kiddie World. This place is much closer to our house - 2 miles and 5 minute drive. It is brand new and amazing. It is completely modern and we were so impressed and loved the place right away. Though neither of us want to send her to daycare at all, it is only for 2 days a week and seeing what a great place this is, we feel a bit better about it. I am still sad, but it'll be ok.

Having a baby is such a blessing and we just love every minute of it - no matter how hard or easy that minute is.

Keep coming back - I try to write as frequently as I can.
