It is amazing how fast a month goes by. From making just a few squeaks for the first couple weeks (her little cry literally sounded like a mouse squeaking) to making her presence known now (especially in the evening), Ona has grown a lot this first month. She is smiling now and I can't seem to get enough of her smiles. I haven't caught much of a smile on camera yet, but I did get some great screaming shots. You can tell how much she loves her bath time.
Ona went to the Tafuna Health Clinic (which makes
our hospital seem like a palace) for her first check-up and shots the other day. That was quite an experience. The so-called check-up consisted of the doctor telling me to lay "it" on the table -- referring to Ona and then proceeding to ask me if my baby was ok. Isn't the doctor supposed to tell me that? Ona weighed in at 9 lbs, which I'm assuming is pretty close to accurate as she is starting to chunk up after her small start on life (she weighed only 5 lbs, 14 oz at birth). I noticed that all the other babies at the clinic were getting even measurements, too, but I'm not sure if the nurse was rounding up or down. Apparently ounces aren't important here.
All in all, Ona is a healthy, mostly happy and very loved little baby.

She is the most beautiful baby ever and has the prettiest eyes.
It's hard to say if she looks like Paul, Melanie or Emma. It depends on which angle you see her from.
