First Smiles...1 month old!

Molly's First Month: I'm going to try to write a brief update each month, like I did for Gracen's first year. Yes, our little girl is smiling already. But usually just after she wakes up. Molly sleeps all the time, and we have great days when we stick to a good eat-play-sleep routine. She is easy to get to sleep, and doesn't mind being in her crib. She also LOVES to "pacify" (non-nutrititive sucking?), which is something Gracen never really cared for. So, sometimes its confusing when Molly acts hungry and she's really not, but its great that she takes a pacifier so easily because she's easy to soothe. Molly does get cranky when she's awake and no one is holding her, but that isn't very often! And she's getting better about hanging out on her own for a bit. Her favorite position is on her tummy, on your shoulder, snuggled under your neck, with her binky. (Gracen always liked to face out...) But when Molly is mad, she's reeeeeeally mad. And she gets that way anytime we put her in her carseat, so we usually listen to screaming if we go anywhere.
