One Month Old/Thanksgiving


That's right. My baby girl will be four weeks old on Friday. She has grown and developed so much in that one month, it's intriguing to think of where she will be at two months old.
Ariana has become so much more attentive and aware of what's around her.

Hearing: She can make out mommy and daddy's voice and will turn her head towards us...it takes awhile though.
Sight: She can now follow an object right infront of her from side to side. Vertically will come later I'm told.
Strength: Wow Ariana is strong. At two weeks she could lift her head and turn it slightly. At three weeks she can turn it from side to side when on her tummy. Now she can almost keep it up when help upright. Still needs a little support but not as much as before.

Milestones to get to: Still waiting for that first real smile. So far we have gotten smiles that were more accidental face play than meaning anything. Cooing is almost here, she is making a sound that's inbetween a coo and a cry. It'll be nice to have a sound that's not a cry soon.

OUR LIVES.

So now that you got the baby update, it's time for us. We have a busy two weeks. Dan's still off work and we had my parents down on Sun for church and then Dan's parents came down Sun till Tues to visit and help out. That was nice. Tues Melissa (next door neighbour) came back from South Africa. Fri we have friends comming to visit and then Sat we are going to my parents for Thanksgiving. I can;t wait to see everyone again. I miss family.
So that's that in a very small confined nutshell.

That's a cute picture. Turns out we're not going to Jodies Saturday night. Maybe a country fair? We'll talk. Looking forward to the weekend with you guys.

A fair would be nice. I've been wanting to see one this year.
