1 Month Old

By the end of month one a baby typically (our Checklist!)
Lifts head for short periods of time - Yes, her head is very strong!
Moves head from side to side - Yes
Prefers the human face to other shapes - I think so, this is a weird one to know
Makes jerky, arm movements - um Yes, often times hitting herself with these jerky movements is typical- making her freak out and cry
Brings hands to face - Yes, again see comment above
Has strong reflex movements - Yes
Can focus on items 8 to 12 inches away - Yes, she loves to look at the items hanging from her mat
May turn towards familiar sounds or voices - Yes, everytime Randy sings to her she has to look right in his face
Responds to loud sounds - Yes, although some loud sounds she is actually comforted by (i.e. Diego's barks, music)
Blinks at bright lights - She hates that damn camera always going off in her face!

Well today Violet is 1 month old, I made cookies to celebrate (well for Randy and I to celebrate, but we've shared them with friends- Violet can have one in about a year - Thanks Jen for the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk recipe they are super Yummy!)

We went to the lactation clinic yesterday, she is just under 10 pounds, can you believe it? I can't she is growing so quickly. Here are some photos of her chubby tummy.
