I'm with Fanny on this one...

Fanny attempts to do a "Thankful Thursday" post each week. But thanks to things like major surgery and having two little girls, it sometimes becomes Thankful Tuesday or Thankful Saturday. This week is was "Thankful...whatever day of this week this is".

And I'm down with that idea.

Because every day is a different day. Never the same schedule twice. Never the same issues twice. And this leaves Momma with absolutely no ability to plan something like a post on a specific day of the week.

I just can't handle the pressure of that these days.

So I hereby declare that the post previously known as "Gratitude Friday" will, until further notice, be appearing at random days during the week. So sayeth me.

Last Friday was Aubrey Kate's one month birthday. She is now 7.9 pounds and 20 inches long. Yay for growing baby! We're actually fitting into our 0-3 months clothes. And her little cheeks are definitely getting pudgier.

Which is so stinkin' cute.

Her little personality is fascinating. She is a very snuggly baby. Likes to be where everyone else is. "Put me in my crib when Mommy and Daddy are in the living room? Playing without me? No way!" She only cries when she's getting her diaper changed, bathtime and during her "fussy time" which is anywhere from 7:00 pm until she wears herself out.

Honestly, "the book" (Babywise which let me tell you, we have considered buring on more than one occasion but we are doing our best to follow. So if you come to see us, you'll hear us refer to "the book" frequently. ) says every baby has a "fussy time" but we are so lucky. Aubrey Kate has a fussy half of the day. It can last a couple of hours or it can last until, as in the case of last night, 2:00 am.

Yes, I am exhausted.

But then, like right now, she's fallen asleep in her bouncy seat right next to me (yes, I know Babywise followers that I need to move her to the crib - I'll do that in about 5 minutes) and she looks so adorable, I can't be frustrated with her.

I can, however, be at 1:15 am when she's been crying for 45 minutes.

Just not right now.

And of course, there are pictures of her one month birthday! Look how cute she is in the sleeper Aunt Carrie, Uncle Adam and Cousin Noah gave her!

Thank you Lord for a healthy, growing, adorable daughter. Thank you for giving me the energy and the patience I need even when I feel like I have given every ounce of myself. I say a prayer and miraculously, there is always more for me to give. And thank you for the hours when she is not fussy. When she is playing and cooing with us. Those hours make fussy time doable.
