One Month Old

Today Hannah is officially 1 month old! I can't believe it and it scares me to think how fast she is going to grow up! Today we went to the pediatrician's for a well visit. Hannah weights 10lbs 4 oz and is 22 3/4 inches long! Wow!!! She is the 75th percentile for height and weight. The doctor also said she had big feet for a baby... Hum, I wonder who she is going to take after, her mom or her Dad? In addition to her gaining weight, we are noticing that she is having lots of skin folds on her bottom and legs and definitely has a double a chin! My mom reminds me that I was a chunky baby!

I didn't have any concerns to express to the doctor and he said she was doing very well. He told us we need to be massaging her hands and feet and smiling and talking to her to get her to respond. Just this week she has started focusing on us when we talk to her. She is smiling but not so much responsively yet. We will start working on teaching her to do that. She does smile a lot though. When he put her on her tummy, she just laid there. He said she was lazy! and needed more "tummy time." I think she was just sleepy because when she is on her tummy she is pushing up and lifts her head up and turns it to both sides. I guess she didn't feel like showing off today. Next month maybe she will show him what she can do.

It is REALLY windy outside! and blowing dust (kind of like a West Texas Spring day). So we won't be getting out again and my mom is leaving town tomorrow for the weekend so I guess I will resume my cabin fever.
