I can’t believe it…The last month has been really busy but it doesn’t really seem like she’s been here for a month already. I am feeling much better than I ever have at one month post partum. It’s nice to feel almost normal! Timberlyn seems to be having a hard time right now. It seems like she is either eating, sleeping, or crying. She is having a hard time knowing what she should do while she is awake. So she cries. If she was my first baby, I would be a little stressed….but she is my fourth so we just do our best to help her be happy and find things that she likes.
So far we have discovered that she likes being outside. She loves the warm water in her bath. She loves the stroller and being in the car. She stopped crying for the blender the other day. She likes to be held and she likes to look at different faces – I think she gets bored of mine unless she is hungry! She doesn’t really like her pacifier but we are still trying (for my sanity, not hers!). She doesn’t like getting OUT of the bath and she doesn’t like it if I put lotion on her. She doesn’t like her swing and she doesn’t like it if I make her wait a little bit before she eats!
She does sleep well at night and about three times a week I can get her to sleep for 6 hours! Love that! Most the time she eats and then goes right back to sleep in her bassinet but if she doesn’t then I just have to hold her for a little while and she will doze off again.
The kids are still infatuated with her and fight over who gets to hold her “next”. Her eyes are still grey/blue but we are pretty sure they will be brown. We have also discovered that she looks a lot like Miranda did at this age. Miranda had a bit more hair but you can tell they both belong to us! See for yourself!
Miranda 1-month
Timberlyn 1-month
We think she’s pretty great. I still can’t believe I am the mother of four kids but I feel blessed to have these four spirits in my life!
For those that haven’t met her (and for those that have if they want!) here is a quick video of Timberlyn. Sorry about the lighting….it wasn’t very good. I call her my pterodactyl sometimes because of her squeaky cry! I hope that goes away soon

Seriously can't believe it's been one month! Shouldn't she only be two days old? She is beautiful.....and I love her cry. Hope you don't have to hear that too often, especially in the middle of the night.
She's darling!
She really does look like Miranda:) We need to come see her again soon!!!
So sweet! I need to get up there and see her and hold her and let her get bored with my face though I don't think I could get bored with hers. She is Miranda's sister, isn't she? Lucky ducks, all of you.
She's adorable! The very first picture I ever saw of her made me think of Miranda. :) Cute family!
