Celeste is ONE month old!

I can't believe it but my little girl is already one month old! And she sure is growing! We went to the doctor on her one month day and she now weighs 9lbs 13 oz!! so she has gained nearly 2 pounds in two weeks! whoa! I guess the breastmilk/breastfeeding thing is really working for her ;]
She gave us a great present for her one month day: she smiled for the first time!! Sure we've gotten hints of smiles, but most of those were in her sleep or gas related ;] This was a real, genuine smile in response to seeing her Daddy! It was so wonderful! ...The only sad part was it all happened in the doctor's office moments before the nurse came in a poked her with a needle for a vaccination causing a new first: Celeste cried real tears!! >.< It was terribly traumatic! But she still loves us, cause she smiled again later that night. whew! Close call ;]
Here are the pics:

I love this little girl!!























This was the first baby clo (baby outfit) we received after we found out we were pregnant. Bill's mom got it for us. she actually bought it while Bill was on his mission to Japan. she thought it would be cool to give him someday cause the style looks asian. Well she was even more excited to give it to us since I also served in Japan. It's such a cute outfit, but it drown her when she was first born...I can't believe it fits her now! So CUTE!

I love the way this little girl sleeps! It cracks me up: she LOVES to have her arms free like this :]
