I deserve an award or something...

First off,   when is someone going to knock on my door with the Mother of the Year award?!?!   Don't y'all know that I made dinner last night, woke up and started the crock pot for dinner tonight, successfully showered with baby in the bouncer while The Mr. was out showing houses, put on make-up with one hand while I fed little girl, (if you're not clapping out loud for me......you're nuts!) and meal planned for the next week.      How crazy is it that I feel like I should get a trophy for these things?!?!  :)
I'm not the only one getting the hang of things....
our sweet pea, Hatilynn Paige (yes, sounds like Madelyn with a "H"), is 1 month old today!   It has been a blur...I try to savor each moment...but here we are one month in and yet I feel like we just got home from the hospital yesterday.  

Hattie Paige, you should get the baby of the year award for:
-sleeping in 4 hour increments at night.  Praise the Lord!
-you took a bottle from daddy last night for the first time and let mommy sleep for almost 6 hours straight.  Glorious.
-knock on wood.  You only "yelp" when you are hungry...still haven't heard a blood curling cry...or for that matter a regular cry.
-you smile All. The. Time.   When we talk to you...you grin ear to ear.  You giggle out loud while you sleep.
- you're an awesome eater...   Started off at 5lbs 7oz and you're about 6 1/2 lbs now. 
Plus,  you're as sweet as sugar...

Hatilynn,  We are so grateful the Lord perfectly picked you for us.  We can't imagine life without you.  We have made so many decisions in the past year with you in mind...   thank you for showing us what life is truly about.  Prayer makes all things possible.
