No longer a generic newborn bundle, she now has her own voice and face, and her own gestures and facial expressions. She likes turning her head to the left when given a choice (lying on her back, for example) and to arch her back really really far back when waking up.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nShe likes looking at lamps and windows, but is not particularly interested in faces. She does not react much to sounds &ndash; she does not find them interesting, but is also not alarmed by loud or sharp noises.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nShe doesn&rsquo;t mind clothes being pulled over her head, but is very annoyed by the process of getting arms into sleeves.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHer hands are learning to grip things: when something grippable happens to touch her palm, she often grabs hold of it. (Remarkably often this happens to be the sleeve that I&rsquo;m trying to get her arm through, or the front of my t-shirt.) But I don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s any intention behind it yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waking up It&rsquo;s one month since Ingrid was born. Time flies.
