1 Month

Julie is 1 month old!! One month plus a week to be exact! This post is a week later than I wanted it to be, not a big deal, but I am realizing that I will never be able to match my perfectly timed and never ending supply of pictures that I took of Lizzie as a newborn. Its just harder to get the camera out and get cute shots of Julie with Lizzie dancing around for my attention! Thank goodness for nap time, or I may have never gotten around to recording in time lil one month old Julie! Babies change so quickly! She's already so much bigger!

Developmental Updates:

She's smiling!! I can usually get a smile out of her when I've been out of her view for a little while and I come back and make cooing happy noises at her! Daddy doesn't get nearly as many smiles, but he can coax it out of her with a lot of work when she's in the right mood! I'm enjoying the favoritism while it lasts...she'll soon discover what a fun guy daddy is and then it will be over for me!

She enjoys looking at mobiles, toys, and moving objects.

She makes cute little cooing noises when she's really happy!

She slept through the night! (last night it was 9 hours but usually its 6-7 hrs) What a sweetie!

She still sleeps alot during the day, too. Her favorite time to be awake, alert, and more smiley is usually around 7-8 pm.

And...

She takes a binky now! I am a big fan of the binky. I like knowing that I can eventually get rid of it when she becomes too old for it (unlike a thumb!)

Julie is a great little baby who is so mellow and very patient/tolerant. She's a minimal crier and even puts up with all of Lizzie's affectionate hugs (imagine a bear mauling). She's a fun little girl to have around!
