Happy Birthday Mia! 1 Month Old!

Yeaay, Mia!

Your 4-week-old - How your baby's growing:

Your baby may gurgle, coo, grunt, and hum to express his feelings. A few babies also begin squealing and laughing. Be sure to coo and gurgle back, and talk to your baby face to face. He'll enjoy holding your gaze now.

Mia already makes a HEAP of noises, and grumbles continuously when i lean her forward to burp. She makes it clear and she doesn't like to burp that way, so I end up tossing her over my shoulder. When she wakes up from a nap she makes me laugh because she stretches her arms and legs and makes grunting noises just like a man, hehe.

If you have things to do, your baby will still enjoy hearing your voice from across the room. And don't feel silly about using baby talk — babies are particularly attuned to this high-pitched, drawn-out way of communicating, which can actually teach your baby about the structure and function of language.

When I sneak a shower I talk to her from the bathroom and it generally calms her down if she fusses. She likes it when I sing to her or recite nursery rhymes.
