1 Month Old

My baby is one month old today. Time really does fly by! It seems like I just brought her home a few days ago. Lindy is absolutely darling! She's still pretty small for her age, but is consistent in her growth so the doctor isn't concerned.

Sadly, Lindy has a mild case of Cholic. I hate that she cramps and hurts and there's nothing I can do about it. Luckily it's mild though. Hopefully it goes away soon. I'm also hoping her new voracious appetite will help. She's eating like crazy. I thought she would've gained about 3 lbs by now. I guess her flailing arms and legs burn it all off. :)

She can now hold her head up all by herself for about 90% of the time. She still has the occasional face plant. Tonight she got it up so high I was shocked! She really likes to be able to see what's going around her and not lying flat on her back. Although, when we've got her like that, she's pretty mellow too. She also loves to be held. I've discovered that if I lie her in the bed next to me when we sleep, she sleeps A LOT longer. It's so cute! And I love having a cuddle buddy when Allan is at work all day.

She has also learned how to shake her head. I'm wondering if I should be concerned. She's only 1 month old and can already shake her head. :| It's actually pretty funny though. She does it when we put her pacifier in her mouth, even if she wants it. She'll shake her head for a bit and then start sucking.

Another new event is that her eyes are starting to change. I still can't tell what color they're going to be, but they are changing. I think I might be detecting some blue coming in around the edges, but we'll see.
