One Month Old!

Happy One Month Birthday, Audrey!

We've had a great time getting to know you this month! It's been interesting, integrating a new person into our family after being a family of three for so long. Especially since some of us have a hard time with changes to the routine. (I'm looking at you, Maddy.)


I'm grateful that you are a little easier on us than your big sister was at this age. But, maybe you are more content because you have a big sister to show you the ropes. You don't even mind tummy time when you have a tummy time specialist to demonstrate the proper technique.


And Maddy loves to introduce you to all her old toys.


That's not to say you don't have your meltdown moments. But, you're still pretty cute, even when you are complaining about the crappy customer service around here.


So far, you love the water. Baths always calm you down, even when Maddy is nearby, threatening to dump water on your head.



For most of the past month, you wore a harness to correct your hip dysplasia. Unfortunately, that wasn't working, so you're scheduled to have a body cast put on next week (chest to ankles). I'm pretty nervous about the next couple months, though the experts have told me this will be harder on me than on you.


Hopefully, the casting process won't be too traumatic for anyone, and it will work just like it's supposed to. (Fingers crossed)


Happy Birthday Audrey, we're looking forward to another great month with you!
