One Month Old

Clara Maria is already one month old, boy how time flies! She is very attentive and alert, always looking around and making good eye contact. She is tracking mommy and daddy well, looking for us if she hears our voices and follows her toys too. She is continuing to have gas and acid reflux issues. Other than that she's a very content baby girl. She is full of smiles and is starting to tell some stories with her coos. Her newborn padding in her car seat is too much, she's too big, so that's packed up. She sometimes giggles out loud when she is falling asleep, part of her REM stage. She LOVES staring at any ceiling fan if it's on or off. At times when she's very hungry she won't break her focus with the fan to feed because she's so intrigued by the contrast of the white ceiling and dark blades.

Aunt Barb and Uncle Rick came and stayed a few days. Of course Barb helped me with the house and baby both. Everyone falling instantly in love with Clara. We're so lucky to have their help and it's so nice to have family here, especially when it's so cold in Western New York!




The progression:

 Sleeping


Stretching

Alert & Story telling

Pooping

Grunting & pushing

Sleepy (after eating and changing)


Burping & out again

One Month Old! I love her expressions so much I can't ever decide, so here are too many.
