Happy One Month Birthday!

Susanna was a month old the same day Caleb turned 2 and a half. She is definitely growing fast, weighing 9 lbs 12 oz at her checkup. Four pounds in four weeks is, as Caleb would say, "pretty doing good!" She's starting to coo and smile some, and already has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger. She's got alot of personality already too--very sweet and a little feisty when she wants to be. Loves to be held, and we love to hold her. The number one piece of advice we've received from experienced parents is to enjoy this time because she'll be grown before we know it. We've already seen this to be true with Caleb--seems like yesterday we were celebrating his one month birthday.

Speaking of Caleb, he continues to be the picture of brotherly love. The other day we were riding somewhere and Susanna was crying. We soon heard Caleb frantically yelling, "Stop the car! Stop the car! We have to check on her! Stop the car!" The other morning, he said to me, "I love my baby sister!" and later when I was changing her diaper he sternly told me, "Don't hold her feet too tight!" Yes, he is very loving and very protective. Between Caleb and David, I don't think she'll have anything to worry about! She may not get to date until she's thirty, but nobody will mess with her!
