Feliz Cumplemes!

Today Paloma is one month old! Fernando has a month long vacation this summer and goes back to work August 3rd. Without him at home during this challenging time, I wouldn't know what I would have done by myself. We've learned so much already about parenting, and there's so much more to go. We'd be lying if we said we didn't take pictures all the frickin' time. It's been a spectacular journey so far...
Today, we bought a cake the size of Paloma to celebrate.
Who says newborns don't smile?
You are getting sleepy...sleepy...My moment to slip away and get a few things done. We like to take her out for a walk every now and then to acquaint her with the city sounds.
These cries used to make us nervous, especially since Paloma knows how to scream. We respond to her cries, but they're not so scary anymore.
Skin-on-skin contact at its best. Which magazine should we send this to?
Fernando's face, my hair and eyes? We can never decide.
Yeah, we're tight.
Since Paloma likes motion, we tested out her new baby carrier. Not her thing for now.
All babies love baths - so I thought. It's been hit or miss lately.
We like the 'hawk.
Her mug shot for her U.S. passport. We love this tiny thing!

She's so precious Justine! Glad you and hubby had this month together to bond with her.

Here's another picture idea for you two shutterbugs: a friend of mine took a picture of her firstborn lying beside a stuffed turtle. Every month, for the first year, they took a picture of their son with the turtle. They sent it out so we could see the little guy's progress.

It was quite something to see the turtle that once was much bigger than Ryan become dwarfed by him.

She's a good mix of both of you. Good lungs eh? Maybe she'll be a singer ;-) .
