Happy 1 Month Birthday to Me!

Hi Everyone,

Thursday was my 1 month birthday. Wow, where has the time gone?!?!? I thought I'd share a few of the things I've accomplished in my 31 days of life on the outside:

• I can sleep up to 5 hours through the night (not consistently--but my mom and dad appreciate it when I do!)


• I can eat out of a bottle, a syringe and feeding tube, a cup and have had some success at the breast


• I can squirm off of a pillow (see photos below)


• I can smile albeit selectively at this point--people think I'm really cute when I do!


• I can fill my diaper pretty regularly!


• I can look around as though discovering the world around me for the first time


• I can enjoy a good book (when it's read to me--my dad is great at doing that)


• I can now fill out my Newborn sized outfits--finally!!


• Nap, snooze and sleep!


• Cuddle!

Well, that's at least a few of the things I'm doing these days. My days are indeed full!

For my 1 month birthday, my mom made a cake--yellow cake with milk chocolate icing and sprinkles too. I got to taste it 24 hours after my mom and dad had their piece (through the milk that is). Pretty tasty! You can see a photo of the happy family with the cake.

Look how far I got--all by myself
