Wow-- 1 month! Cliches like 'whirlwind' and 'roller coaster' are how I think to describe the past month. My baby brain is blocking my mental thesaurus. Corinna's first month has been incredible. Overall she's a good baby and she's growing by leaps and bounds. She's outgrown her 'newborn' sized clothes and diapers. At last count she was up to 9.6 pounds, but that was a good 2 weeks ago. She just started to really smile (we think). We are learning from who she's inherited little parts of her personality as they emerge. For example, sleeping with her mouth wide open...from grandma, to m0m, now Corinna. HUGE body shaking sneezes, from her dad...her love of being wrapped and uber-warm for sleeping--from mom, her ability to not startle at every single loud noise--definitley dad and not mom! She also makes lots of cute noises all the time, even while sleeping and especially while nursing.
Her brothers love her. Constant kisses and hugs. They always say they love her and how cute she is. Jake especially asks to hold her all the time and asks about her as soon as he gets off the bus.
Aside from having a newborn and all that excitement, the month has been far from dull...snow days, playdates, Little Gym, Jake sick, Aidan sick, Spike hit a deer, valentine's day. Can't imagine what next month will bring.
