One Month Old

Today marks Leah's one month birthday. I can't believe how quickly the time has passed! Now I see why everyone says that they grow up quickly. Of course, I have to confess that I'm actually glad she's reached this milestone; after all, everyone keeps telling me that life gets a bit easier somewhere between the six and eight week mark, and this means that she's almost there.

Here's a quick re-cap of her "achievements" thus far:
*can hold her head up for a couple seconds when forced to endure tummy time (and sometimes she does so without fussing!)
*doesn't mind having her diaper changed... well, not as much as she did initially
*is starting to sleep a little more during the day, though she naps best if she's held or napping with me
*is starting to coo... which I absolutely adore hearing!
*can quietly enjoy being awake, whether she's chillin' in her bouncy seat, looking at herself in the mirror in the dining room, or "walking" around the house with me or Scott
*recognizes Daddy and Mommy; often she'll make faces at us (whether it be a [gas] smile or making an "O" shape with her mouth)
