Our thoughts about the past month:

Pyper has been getting more and more alert and really seems to know what is going on around her.  Cooing and moving around like crazy.  It has been progressively harder to hold her because she is such a squirmy worm.  We are really start to see her personality and is just a happy baby in general.   Despite her yelling at us when we try to put her down when she is sleepy she is  such a love and very snugly when she starts to get tired, which is so fun.   We love watching her personality grow and Bo interacting more and more with her everyday too.
