And baby makes three...

About Me

1st MonthDuring the first month of life, your baby will focus on learning how to make sense of her new environment using her eyes, her ears, her sense of smell and touch. Through the love, comfort and attention that you'll provide, she'll bond even more closely with you. If you notice a lot of crying, realize that it's an integral part of your baby's communication with you since she sees that you respond to her cries by meeting her needs. With your help, she's learning new things and growing every day. At each checkup, your doctor will measure your child's height, weight and head circumference, plotting her development in percentiles. What is most important is not exactly how much your baby weighs, but that she continues to grow in a steady way. Length for one-month-old babies usually ranges from 18 inches (10th percentile) to 20.5 inches (90th percentile); weight usually ranges from seven pounds (10th percentile) to 10.5 pounds (90th percentile).This month, Baby may be able to:* Lift her head slightly as her neck muscles strengthen. * Focus her eyes on your face as she begins to learn how to focus both eyes together. * Visually follow an object that moves about six inches above her face (high contrast colors such as black and white are what she can see best at this time.) * Blink at a bright light. * Recognize familiar sounds and voices and respond by turning her head toward them. * Grip your finger when you stroke her palm—part of her developing grasping reflex. * Turn toward your finger when you rub a corner of her mouth. This rooting instinct is what helps her to latch onto your nipple for feeding. * Recognize you by your scent. She can smell your milk if you are breastfeeding.What you can doDuring this month, you can help your baby develop her awareness of her environment by stimulating her senses. To stimulate her hearing, play soothing music, hang wind chimes outside her window, provide soft toys that make interesting sounds. When you speak to your baby, use a lilting, higher-pitched voice — this is the sound to which she'll best respond. Stimulate her visual development by hanging bright mobiles or soft sculptures in black-and-white patterns near the crib (these are the two colors babies this age seem to like best). To stimulate her sensation of touch, provide soft toys and blankets for Baby to caress. well well well about me..first of im fucking crazy. if im comfortable enough around u, i will bust out with some completely random and inappropriate shit...but hey thats what makes me so great...i work at starbucks and love my job...its going to take a bomb to get me out of there. i have found the man im going to spend the rest of my life with. im completely and madly in love with him.......im bucket loads of fun...i like to do random shit with my girls...go out get drunk and have a good time...if ur lucky maybe i'll let u come along for the ride...check out my pics! http://public.fotki.com/beckyinamherst
