1 month

One month old already! I can't believe it has gone by so fast. We didn't anticipate you being as skinny as you are, so you are mostly still wearing newborn sized outfits. Also you wear newborn diapers, but we are trying to fit you into the size 1. You are eating about every two to three hours now. Still you have bouts of hiccups, they make me giggle as I remember how often I felt them while you were in my tummy. Sitting still is not something you do very often, unless you are sleepy. You move so much already and try and lift your head up all the time. I feel like you are trying to grow up too fast already. Your hands are always by your face or up above your head. Looking back at your ultrasound pictures not much has changed, since that is where they can be seen in multiple shots.  Sometimes you even mange to find your hands to suck on. When you are awake we love looking into your big beautiful eyes. Right now they are a pretty blue color, but we wonder what color they will settle on. Slowly, we have been getting your days and nights switched back around. We still let you sleep in our room right now so we are close to you. However, you are a loud sleeper and even snore sometimes. It is also kinda cute when you dream and will make little "cooing" sounds or even cry without waking yourself up. Although, it makes Mommy and Daddy jump right out of bed to see if you are actually awake. Daddy is great and at any chance to he likes to change your diaper or burp you after you finish eating. I think we make a pretty good team. You are such a happy baby and bring so much joy to our lives.

The last visit to the pediatrician you weighed in at 8lbs 3oz and measured 20.5 inches in height. Head is measuring at 13 3/4 inches. Doctor said you are looking great! The first bath (more like a spit bath) we gave you was not your favorite thing. You cried during the whole thing and as much as I know it should have made me sad to see you cry, the way your your lip quivered had us kinda laughing. Needless to say, we got you all dried off and warmed up and you calmed right down. It seems like you are starting to fuss less and less with each one we give you. You are lucky to be a summer baby, you have got to do already a lot in your first month of life. We celebrated the 4th of July by going to your first movie in the theater, "Finding Dory". I was so impressed at how well you did thru the whole movie. Lets hope you love Disney as much as Mommy. After the movie, we had a BBQ at Gigi and Poppy's house. It made a long day for all of us, and so we decided to go to bed early that we missed fireworks this year. Last time you went to the reservoir you were still in Mommy's tummy. This time you were able to wear your own life jacket and lay Daddy's arms so that Mommy could wakeboard. You look so tiny in that lifejacket. The boat must be a comforting sound since you mostly slept while the boat was in motion. All in all, lots of firsts in one month.
