Disbelief.

Today marks one full month since we swept Avie into our arms. A few things we'll remember about these first days together:

• Not remembering our names due to lack of sleep.
• Avie having the chance to meet all of her grandparents. (Looking forward to meeting the great-grandparents soon!)
• The humbling generosity of good friends. Our hearts, and bellies, are full.
•  Buying new sheets from Target...so as not to sacrifice our good ones to the baby poop gods.
• Long nights with a babe 'frogged' up on our chests...wide-eyed and bushy-tailed.
• How good that babe smells.
• First baths.
• First solo outings.
• Family walks.
• Countless hours of Hulu and Netflix.
• Daddy's oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
• The day Avie grew into the 'newborn' size onesies.
• The way she whimpers in her sleep.
• The way she smiles...voluntary or not.
• How much she loves being bounced on the yoga ball by daddy.
• Heel pricks and weight checks.
• Celebrating when our girl finally weighed more than six pounds (she's now close to seven)!
