1 Month

Happy One Month, Georgie Boy!

Sunday was your 4 week birthday and today you are one month old (gah!) When Abigail was little, the early weeks passed slowly, but with more going on in our lives today, the days with you have flown by.

And I'm fine with that.

I can't wait to see your first real smile, watch you sit up and start to crawl, attempt your first steps (with what I'm sure will be an eager cheerleader / sister by your side), and hear those first sweet words come from your lips. One thing I've learned is just when I think "oh this is the BEST stage" it only gets better. So bring it on!

Here are some things we're loving about you this month:

You are so alert and love looking at lights, watching me make silly faces, and being walked around the house. Unfortunately you usually enjoy the latter after 10pm...
Night feedings have started to spread out to 3-4 hour increments (before you were eating every 2 hours).
At your 2 week check-up, you weighed 7lbs, 14 oz, and exactly one week later you were 9lbs even!
As a result, you've already outgrown some newborn clothes
You love to cuddle and sleeping on Dad's chest at night is your favorite (Dad is not such a fan)
You LOVE to take baths and your big baby-blues smile with delight each time.
You're a fan of the pacifier (thank goodness!)
You're not a fan of birthday hats :)
