Izzie, you're 1 month old today!

Dear Izzie,

Exactly one month ago, you were almost on your way out to this world. Your mom and dad didn't know anything about newborns or how to take care of newborns, but God decided that we were going to take care of you anyway. Kiddo, in just one month, we have come a long way. We are now experts at changing your diaper, and we're also pretty good at deciphering your little cries and figuring out what it is that you want. We had some bumps along the road in terms of trying to get you to eat - but now you eat like a champ and you've become our little chunky monkey. We brag to everybody how you're the best baby in the world - as far as newborns go, we think you make our life very easy. In the past few days, you've started to make eye contact with us more, and you endure the silly faces that we make at you trying to get you to smile. You've also become remarkably stronger - when we put you down in your crib, you're able do a 180 degree turn. We think you're incredible, and we can't wait to see what our next month together will bring.

We love you very much,
Mommy and Daddy
