Believe it or not but our little monkey is already a month old…or a month young as my Gramps would say.  It’s been the most exhilarating and exhausting month of our lives. 

She’s growing so quickly and she’s already achieving milestones.  On 1/15 she rolled from her tummy to her back and on 1/21 she rolled from her back to her tummy.  One of her arms was still under her when she rolled from her back to her tummy, but she still made it on her own.  I simply can’t believe that she’s already capable of these feats.  I guess that’s what happens when you’re a little stringbean baby…she’s all arms and legs.   

Her eyes are focusing more now (dilate properly) and she’ll lock eyes with me/Dustin and she’ll watch us as we walk around the room.  She’s also grabbing at objects I put in front of her, my hair, my hands, toys, etc. 

We also seem to have a sleeping pattern, she’s down at 11:00, up between 3:00-4:00 for a feeding and up again 3 hours later.  It’s crazy that I celebrate 3-3.5 hours of sleep in a row, but this is a huge accomplishment for a breastfed 1 month old baby.  

She’s our greatest joy and we love watching her grow and learn.

Here’s our little monkey at 1 month.
