Anna at one month.

Anna turned one month old on Wednesday! She is thriving and just about to hit the nine pound mark. We are still enjoying our twice daily walks, which usually include a stranger stopping to compliment Anna on her good looks :) Anna and I have been attending a "Mommy and Me" play/new mother's support group once a week which has been really nice - gets us out of the house and interacting with other babies.

We are working on "tummy time" during the day and Anna has been a very good sport about it (This will, among other things, keep her from getting a flat head from all that back-sleeping! Doctor's orders!) She is now able to lift her head up while on her stomach and turn it the other direction. Mommy and Daddy cheer like crazy people when Anna does this. Another development - Anna is beginning to enjoy her baths! Now that her umbilical cord has fallen off, baths can occur in her cute little tub. She likes the warm water, and we have to be super careful because she tries to scrunch down her neck to lower her mouth so she can drink it.

We are looking forward to a visit from Grandmom Kreis this weekend! Click for some more pictures!
