Happy 1-month birthday, Zaida!

Our baby girl is a month old now and she's already changing and growing.  She stills sleeps a lot, but she stays awake and is more alert in between feedings.  She's putting on weight, especially in her face.  She holds her head up by herself pretty well, but not all the time yet.  She's starting to find her voice (in a non-screaming way), so she makes the occasional random sound.  And she makes some great faces.  She smiles randomly, especially when she's sleeping and she's even laughed a time or two.  I think we'll test her for Kindergarten next week.  We'll let you know how that goes.

In the meantime, here are some pictures for you.

Mom and the birthday girl  Hi Mom! Check out my cool little pants! Dad sleeps standing up Oooh, shiny objects A sideways look at the Harper family Hey, what's back here?  Getting ready for bath time  Why do they always do this to me? No, don't make me take a bath I need a binky fix Is it over?

And we wanted to remind you that there are more pictures here.  Or you can click on either the "Harpers Nest Photos" or "Our Flickr Page" link in the right hand column of the main page.

Zaida is a big fan of sleep.  And as you can see here, so are we. 

Sleeping peacefully

She even managed to sleep while watching her first Super Bowl.
