At risk of turning into an incredibly stereotypical mommyblogger, let's assess her life at one month, shall we?
Name: Camilla Ann. And by her two month birthday, her last name will officially be the same as ours!!!
Also Known As: Millie, Millsie, Mills, Nuggie (this and all subsequent variations originated when we noticed what a cute little nugget she was/is), Nugs, Nugsie, Nuggaly, and Tiny Dictator. I don't even know why we bothered giving her a normal sounding name; she'll never hear it!
Stats: 10 lb. 12.5 oz. (as per dr appt 9/8)
Because the clothing manufacturing industry has no consistency, she can currently wear clothes ranging from Newborn to 3-6 months. With her cloth dipes on, she can rock out pants up to size 6 months (although they have to be folded up ten times at the bottom, ha). In disposable diapers, she's a size 1.

| This blog is boring, Mom. Let's talk about something interesting. |
Likes: FOOD. She has never met a bottle she didn't love and chomp down with reckless abandon. It brings a tear to my eye. We've used probably 5 different types of formula (just because we had a wide variety of kinds purchased already) plus breastmilk and she loves everything equally and intensely.
Other passions include being swaddled, cuddling, being carried in the K'tan or Ergo, baths, white noise, music, and people respecting her 'schedule.'
 |
| We ain't scared of no stinkin' storm. |
Undecided about: Whether diaper changes are fun or torture. Whether her paci is a soothing friend or a hateful poser. Whether the vacuum is an excellent source of white noise or an angry monster about to eat her.
Special Skills: Breaking out of non-velcro swaddles. Giving super obvious 'hunger cues' for a generous amount of time before she starts crying. Not crying very much ever, in general. Sleeping for long periods of time during the night. Being ridiculously cute. Making dolphin sounds.

She is your twin!!! Seriously!! And Daph would love being kidnapped by you because she loves babies and is actually pretty helpful, for the most part. I bet Camilla would love some Daphne-made hats and some of her cuddle-slash-smother sessions.
ReplyDeleteLove these pictures! She's so alert. They just get more fun with each passing month!
ReplyDeleteLove this! She is so adorable and is clearly flirting with a smile! Her "undecided"s are my favorite. She must intuitively know it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy One Month, Millie!!!! Happy One Month, Matt and Erika B, family of 3!!!
The cuteness. I can't even. She is so precious!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 1 month lil nugget! And happy 1 month to you mommy!
ReplyDeleteThat hair!!!!! And yawn!!!!! Love it all. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if this accidentally posted twice, but Happy 1 Month Camilla! It has been so much fun to watch you grow. I love the pictures and updates!!
ReplyDeleteShe gets cuter and cuter with each photo I see of her. What a little dolly!! You all seems so so happy and I am truly so excited for you!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 1 month, Camilla! Can't wait to watch you grow over the next million months!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! How has it already been a whole month already?? She just keeps getting cuter and cuter; I do so love seeing so many sweet pictures of her all at once! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, she is a beauty! Can't believe it's been a month already!!! How long are you off of work? I hope a good long time!!!
ReplyDeleteshe is so big!!!!!! It's the little things I forget about - like cleaning out gunk in her neck rolls :) Such sweet pictures - she sure is a cutie!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is so precious I can't deal!!! LOVE her skills!
ReplyDeleteShe just keeps on getting cuter (if that is possible)!
ReplyDeleteHappy 1 month Millie, Millsie, Mills, Nuggie, Nugs, Nugsie, Nuggaly, Tiny Dictator!!! She is seriously the CUTEST! I can't to wait to see how she grows in the next million months! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been a mom for a month! Do you wake up every day like, "hmmm, what should we do... omg! I'm a mom!"???? Or has it actually like, sunk all the way in?
ReplyDeleteIt's also kind of pathetic that I still haven't been by and brought you guys dinner... we're going to pretend that I just didn't want your freezer to be overstocked. I'm thoughtful that way.
Happy one month Millsie, mommsie and daddsie!!! Your precious gift gets more beautiful by the minute. Swoon!
ReplyDeleteYay, you made it!!!! It gets so much easier from here. Baby wearing is the best, she looks so comfy!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! She is quite possibly the cutest thing ever!! Her outfits, OH MY GOSH!
ReplyDeleteHappy One Month lil' Millie! XOX
Happy one month sweet girl!! Haha and the neck roll gunk... We got lots of that too!!
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful and I am still just so happy for y'all
ReplyDeleteAh, love that star pic!! She's a cutie. Also, I'm pretty sure Colby thinks his real name is "Guy Man" and Clara thinks hers is "Littlest."
ReplyDeleteThe gunk that accumulates in her neck rolls. . . how does so much stuff get in there???! It still happens with Clara for crying out loud!
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable. So happy for you all.
Carter is also awesome at busting out of non-Velcro swaddles, but I think perhaps I'm just terrible at wrapping non-Velcro swaddles. She's a beautiful nugget!
ReplyDeleteYou always find away to make your post crack me up. Millie is such a cutie. She looks so aware and sturdy i must say.
ReplyDeleteOh Goodness she is just the CUTEST!!! Love your up-date :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birth-aversary cute little one!
ReplyDeletehappy one month to her! the star shirt is my favorite but she is just too adorable! keep the updates coming. :]
ReplyDeleteYup, had no idea it was possibly to be jealous of a one month old's lips. They are so plump! She's a real cutie!! But you already know that. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy one month little Millie. Motherhood looks good on you Erika!!
She's so, so precious!
ReplyDeleteSo much neck roll gunk! Also, do you think she looks like you? Or is that just us?
ReplyDeleteDon't take this the wrong way... but I seriously just want to EAT HER UP!
ReplyDeleteLove that girl and love watching you be mommy! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy one month birthday to Millie!!
ReplyDeleteShe is SO precious! Love her stats!
ReplyDeleteSecond so many of the above comments. Lil Miss. C gets cuter and cuter w/ each day. So happy for you and M.
ReplyDeleteGod is good!
Your story gives me hope.
And now she's one month and ten days and before we know it, we'll blink and she'll be headed off to college. Of course, since that's about a million months away, it'll probably take longer than one blink. Maybe a nice long nap.
ReplyDeleteAs you can tell, I'm finally getting around to catching up on my blog reading after an unintentional long absence. And I love your whole "undecided about" category. I mean, I LOVE it!!!
