1 Month Old

Harper is one month old today...and what a ride it's been so far. We couldn't tell you how much she weighs, but we know she's growing quickly. Her good natured and laid back ways have continued and we have our fingers crossed it stays this way. Elizabeth and I are taking it one day at a time, rolling with the punches and it appears Harper is following our lead and doing the same (we just don't have the heart to tell her we have no idea what we're doing).

Not much happens in the first 4 weeks in terms of "milestones," but Harper "knows" Elizabeth and I, is starting to smile at us, picks her head up more on her own (especially during tummy time) and she sleeps pretty much through the night. She's actually slept in her crib from day one. We tried the bassinet on the first night, but she HATED it after 15 minutes. Instead of trying to make it work or putting her in bed with us - a habit we're absolutely not starting, even if she is an infant - she went straight to her crib and has been there since.

All in all...I'd say the first month has been as good as could be expected. No idea what the little one has up her sleeve, but we're looking forward to continuing the ride.
