On Wednesday my sweet baby boy turned one month old. It has been the slowest and quickest (is that a word?) month of my life! I feel like we have learned so much and adapted together. The newborn stage was honestly the one I was the most nervous about, but the Lord has truly blessed us with a great baby. He has one fussy time in the evening, but once we started bathing him before we laid him down he started doing so much better. At three weeks we moved him to his crib. I felt like it may be too soon, but we both thought he didn't care for the bassinet. He LOVES his crib. He eats at 11pm, wakes up between 4 and 5 am, then again at 8. He doesn't even cry when we lay him down for the night!
Yesterday we went for his one month check-up and he did so great. I was so anxious to see how much weight he had gained. He is a really fast eater, so I was a little worried how much he was getting. He gained 3 POUNDS! He is a 10 lb. chunk. He also grew over 2 inches. I can tell he is starting to be more alert, but when they asked me if he was raising his head, following things with his eyes, randomly smiling and so on and so on, I realized he really is growing and changing. He had met all the one month milestones!
We love you little boy! Who knew you could bring so much joy to our lives in one short month.
