1 Month old!

Hooray! Alaina turned 1 month old! Hard to believe she is already one month - we have thoroughly enjoyed the sleepy newborn stage, but are now seeing her eyes open more in the daytime.  She has been able to distinguish day and night - sleeping a 6 hour stretch consistently.  She would be happy to be in our arms all day (and night!), but when we put her down, Alaina likes to be swaddled and has also discovered a love for the car seat, which puts her to sleep as well!  She is starting to track with her eyes, and is interested in looking at her black and white book!  Alaina is loved by all - but especially her doting big sister who would love to hold her and help care for her as much as Mommy allows, and her big brother who is concerned when Alaina cries and  has some advice for Mommy: "Mommy, she needs milk!... Mommy, change her diaper!".

 She is not a huge fan of tummy time, but will tolerate it in short spurts with appropriate distractions.

Alaina had her first "play date" with her closest in age friend, Kaleb, who is just two and a half weeks younger than Alaina!
Happy 1 Month, Alaina!  We are so glad you are a part of our family!
