Emilia's 1 Month Update

Emilia hit her 1-month birthday last Saturday, and she's very happy about it.

2. She now opens both eyes frequently (although not apparent in the pic).
3. She cries a lot more now.
4. She sleeps a lot more now.
5. She eats a lot more now.
6. Ok, the above 3 probably aren't possible concurrently, but it seems that way.
7. She's starting to spit up a bit more.  Let's hope that's not a trend.
8. She's sleeping better late at night because we understand her better.
9. We'll let her sleep on her side a bit then shift her to her back.

12. She'll cry like a banshee when she's cold.
13. She's starting to hold her head up.

18. She likes to be held and bounced and swung.
19. She's a sun worshiper - well, she seems to like being out in the sun.
20. She smiles a fair amount, but so briefly that's it's tough to capture them on film (or silicon).

30. Her Houdini act makes it a challenge to keep her swaddled.
