1 month!

I'm a week late with this post and way behind on blogging in general, but I just wanted to recognize Maelie's one-month mark. Here are a couple of pics of her on her at 1-month-old...

 This was my view of cutie Maelie on our drive to Brianhead for my family reunion.

 

 And this was Maelie's super-helpful traveling companion, Faith.

Maelie met her Nielsen cousins--Mikayla first.

 Then Kyler.

Maelie with silly Rylan.

And with cutie Katelyn.

Cute little crying Maelie.

Maelie really enjoyed being held by so many family members.

First pic with Maelie's Aunt Lissa.

Hannah enjoyed playing with her cousins.

And she of course had to hold her baby sister too!

Maelie has been truly smiling for almost 2 weeks now (first for me and then more often for Scott and Hannah). She is very strong and very alert when she's awake. Maelie still eats really well but doesn't sleep as well. She usually cries inconsolably for 2-3 hours at night. Maelie's doctor believes she has colic, and we agree. We can't wait for her to outgrow it. :)

We absolutely love our 1-month-old (plus 1 week) sweet Maelie!
