Cuddling With Mommy


Aurora turned one month old yesterday. It's been amazing watching her grow up before my eyes. I can't believe how much she has changed already. The following are several things she's been doing this month:
  1. Looks toward noise
  2. Waves arms around
  3. Kicks legs
  4. Makes excited noises (sounds like hyperventilation in a cute way)
  5. Grunts and makes lots of noise when she eats and sleeps
  6. Burps loudly (some even rival my own burps)
  7. Holds up her head briefly
  8. Focuses on faces
  9. Purses her lips
  10. Clasps hands together
  11. Usually sleeps with one or both hands above her head like her Daddy
  12. Often does the superman pose with her arms
  13. Looks at lights
  14. Lots of sleepy grins & some awake ones
  15. Pirate baby face with one eye closed and one open
  16. Curls up in a ball on her Daddy's chest (we call the pose "ladybug")
  17. Plays with her tongue
  18. Makes spit bubbles
  19. Focuses on playmat toys
  20. Slept through the night on February 3 and a few times since then
  21. Made her first cooing sound on February 11
