1 Month Old

At one month old, Riley is beginning to be awake more during the day. She loves her new swing, and likes to watch the elephants that hang above the swing (see video!). She is very alert, and cracks lots of smiles when you sit and talk to her. She also has very good neck control - when laying on your shoulder, she can pull her head back to look at you, and hold it there for a few seconds. She is most comfortable laying on her side or her stomach, and does not stay asleep for long if placed on her back. Just for kicks, last night we tried swaddling her before laying her in her bouncer to sleep, and it worked wonders. She slept for almost 5 hours straight and then for another 3-4 hours after that!
