She has been an amazingly mellow baby over this first month. We'd like to think it's all due to our much more relaxed attitudes with baby #2, but in fact we think we just got lucky with a happy, calm baby who loves to sleep!
Nina's accomplishments in month 1 include: sleeping, eating, slight head lifts (and few tears) during tummy time, filling up the diaper bin on a regular basis, and, in the past day or two, smiling! Nina's first smile came when Paul and Sam were talking to her -- we aren't surprised that Sam would make her smile!
Speaking of Samantha, she has far exceeded our expectations as a big sister. She is extremely attentive and doting on Nina. The first thing she wants to do in the morning when she gets out of bed is run in to check on Nina, and whenever Nina makes the slightest cry, Sam assures her: "It's okay Nina, Mama's here, Dada's here, Sam's here...". Sammy also loves to help us out with Nina, getting her a new diaper, running to get her blankets, etc. We feel very lucky that the transition has (so far) been as smooth as it has!
Here are a few pictures from Nina's first month. So far, we think she looks a lot like her sister Sammy!
