Arden Leigh is 6 Weeks Old!


Arden Leigh 6 Weeks


Our little blessing has been with us for six weeks now and life is good! She is growing so fast and is probably 7lbs. Here are some updates on her life at 6 weeks.
  • She can roll over from back to her sides and from her stomach to her back!
  • She loves her head rubbed
  • Her facial expressions are so cute. She can look like an owl by putting her lips together to make an "O" and she can raise her eyebrows really high crinkling her forehead.
  • She is drinking about 4 oz. every 3-4 hours
  • She is starting to get interested in toys and looking around the room
  • She sleeps like a champ when out shopping or in the car
  • She grips my shirt when being fed
  • She enjoys being held while I dance around the room

Arden is 1 month old!



I can't believe that little Arden is 1 month old! Time flies when you have a newborn. Every day with her is a blessing and I love watching her grow. Here are some highlights from her first month.

  • Weight: 5lbs 13oz.
  • Height: 18 3/4 inches
  • She eats 18ml. every 3 hours
  • She loves holding onto your fingers and shirt when being held
  • Her stretch routine is hilarious! It can last up to 5 minutes
  • She likes her hand near her face at all times. Her hands will always seem to escape the swaddle
  • She had her first bad diaper rash...blisters and all :(
  • She still loves her baths

Arden's Newborn Pictures

When Arden was 9 days old we took her to get her newborn pictures. We loved our photographer who's studio is located in the back of an antique shop. It was such a cool space filled with exposed brick walls, old doors, and tons of antique props. She is the nicest lady and it was the most calm and laid back experience. I had the time of my life watching!


Arden did such a good job looking cute and slept nearly the entire time. She did get a chance to go potty on her daddy's hands during the father/daughter picture. Ha!


Here are some of my favorites...
