Our Growing Girl

Today Isabel has her 1 month appointment.  She now weighs 9lbs 3oz! I couldn't believe it!  She's 22 inches and can't remember her head size but it's big =)  She's making the cutest noises now.  And I swear she smiled back at me 3 times today!  I know that'd be super young but I'm convinced they were real.  She now seems like a human and I'm loving it!  She's definitely getting away from the newborn look.  Looking at pictures of friends who just had their babies made me realize Izzy is growing!  Some random things about Isabel:
She doesn't like the car and it doesn't put her to sleep, which is a bummer
She doesn't like pacifiers, but will occasionally take the ugly hospital ones
She has to be swaddled, calms her down
She fights sleep
She is awake in the day a lot.  Right now shes going on 5 hours of being awake
She likes bath time.  She just hangs out and tries to drink the water
She sleeps great at night.  Last night she slept 10-3, then 3:30-7-that's usually how it goes every night
Shes a light sleeper, wiggly sleeper, and snores so loud
Her right eye will occasionally stay open when she sleeps
She has the cutest smile-it's just like Cameron's
She loves to be bounced on the balance ball and watch tv
She doesn't like her view to be blocked.  The reason she doesn't like carriers.  I tried again yesterday but this time faced her looking out and she liked it!
Its so fun watching her personality show, and learning new things about her.

Thanks for the pics and update, Kelda. Looks like you guys are doing just fine. Never had one of the sling holders-- looks much more natural-- sounds like Miss Isabel knows her own mind--
