McKinley is One Month

I am so not a good photographer... but I thought I'd try to track her growth by putting some pictures up each month. I can't believe almost 5 weeks has gone by since McKinley was born. And what a blessing she has been! Thank you Lord for this sweet girl...

How precious is this face?

Are those some "must kiss" cheeks or what?!? McKinley loves to sleep and she loves to suck!!! We are working on a pacifier, although she doesn't like that nearly as much as daddy's finger. But since daddy's finger can't be with us 24/7 we are now hoping and praying that she'll take a pacifier. I never in my life thought I'd be encouraging her to take a pacifier... I suppose that is just one of the many things that will occur differently than I had imagined in my mind. : )

We are all doing pretty well. We have some tough moments... especially at 2:00 am when I really want to go back to sleep and she doesn't. But... we sing, and we pray and somehow God gets us both through it! And sometimes she doesn't like to be awake without fussing and crying. But we're working through that too... I just remind myself that this is such a short time and that she brings so many other blessings... And again, God just gets us through it all!
