One Month...Officially

Today Michaela is officially one month; I was a bit premature yesterday. Lots of fun happenings this past month. Namely, life outside the womb. We're enjoying our "4th Trimester" as Joe so diligently reminded me the other day. "Remember, Kate, we are in the 4th trimester. Don't you remember from baby class?" Shoot, I don't remember that statement. I was probably going, when did they extend the time she's in the womb? Three trimesters is long enough for her to cook in there, isn't it? We found that yes, it is long enough.

She sure is fun to look at and to watch grow. Her neck is getting stronger, seen by when she is laying on your chest she picks up her head and "hunt and pecks" for some milk. On males or females! Yum! Also we found a pacifier is soothing for her and she can suck on that for some time whether in the car, the stroller, the crib or in your arms.

Deciphering facial expressions and cries are becoming easier too. Is she hungry?...well, no she's had a blowout ladies and gentlemen. Oh, that's why she had her face scrunched and her stomach sounded as if she were digesting a pepperoni pizza!

Enjoying music in the mornings (real mornings, not 3 am mornings). A part of Frances England's song resonates in our heads: Eww ahh Eww ahh the way that we live
We're fascinating creatures
eww ahh eww ahh the things that we do
With our instincts we pull through...
