Today is Nora’s one month birthday and I can’t believe how much she’s changed. We went to the doctor for her check up and she was pronounced to be in good health and doing wonderfully. She has also grown a lot. She now weighs in at 10 pounds and is 22 inches long! We’ve had to put away her newborn clothes and went shopping for some bigger outfits.
Nora has started developing her personality. She is generally a happy baby and cries pretty much only when she wants to eat, which happens to be quite often. She looks around and takes in her surroundings. She likes to look at faces and will focus on her toys. She moves her arms to reach for things, but still hasn’t quite developed control of them. She likes to lift her legs high in the air and is getting more head control. She can lift her head up and look around. She gets frustrated though because she wants to move and turn over, but can’t do it yet. She can roll over from her side to her back, too.
Mom and Dad are doing well, too. We are starting to get a little bit more sleep. Rich has had the week off from school, so we have enjoyed hanging out as a family. We’ve also started our spring cleaning and getting the house ready for when Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Kimberly come to visit. We are looking forward to summer when we will all be home together again.
