One Month!

Happy 1 Month Birthday, Anna!

Our little girl now weighs in at 9 lbs 11 oz and measures 22.someodd inches! Even better, she has started sleeping "through the night" from about midnight to 6 AM...that much sleep feels pretty darn luxurious to Mom and Dad right now (and hopefully we haven't jinxed ourselves by posting this).

For her birthday she got to open up her playmat...and spend some time on her tummy for the first time. She has been lifting her head up since about her second day of life, but lately she has been able to hold it up for a few minutes at a time. She's starting to coo and smile more and turn toward Mom and Dad's voice, and she'll occassionally track objects with her eyes, but usually she likes to eat...and sleep...and eat...and poop...and cuddle and snuggle.

The dogs weren't quite sure what to think about the playmat--a toy on the floor they can't play with?! What's up with that?

For the most part though, they love their little baby and keep a close eye on her wherever she is. The fact that she doesn't share her toys is mostly forgiven, as long as they get to lick her ears sometimes.

That baby is waaaaaay to cute! Makes my arms ache to hold a sweet little baby again - rather than a writhing screaming toddler and sassy pants preschooler. Glad you are all doing well.

That picture is perfect for a caption on "I Has a Hotdog" ;o)

Happy birthday! A month already... time flies!

She is adorable! I'm hoping your six hours of sleep lasts; ours seems to have disappeared now that I'm back at work.
