One Month Old

It's been a month since Macy RuthAnne joined our family. Let me just say that 2nd children are the best! Never mind that both me and Bryan are 2nd children. :) It shouldn't surprise me that Macy fits into our family perfectly. I know that the Lord planned for her to be our child since before our family came to be, and we're just living out that plan as we adjust to everything she adds to our lives.

My prayer for her is that she grows up to be exactly the girl/young lady/woman that God has intended for her to be. And, I pray that God guides me to be exactly what Macy needs to find Him and all that He has planned for her life. At one month old, it's a little hard to imagine her as a woman who God will use for His kingdom. For now, I mostly think of her as His child, and mine, too, and how very blessed I am to be her Mom.

At one month old Macy is:

Eating well and mostly nursing although we have the formula handy

Sleeping 6 hours at night most nights

Working hard to hold her head up

Cooing and turning her head to look at us when we talk to her

Wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes and has grown out of almost all her newborn things

Tolerating all the love from her big sister and Indy dog

Happy 1 month, Macy Girl!
