One Month

It's amazing what one small month can bring.

I went from this. . .

to this. . .

What a joy you've been to us these past 30 days sweet Cade. We can't imagine life without you!

About you. . .

* We were a bit concerned about your weight at your 3 week visit, and had another weigh-in four days later. You had gained 9 ounces! That put you at 8 lbs. 10 oz. and 21 1/2 inches long at one month. Almost a full pound heavier than your brother at this age :)

* You have begun sleeping in your 'napper' again by our bed. Yay!! I laid you down the other night and you slept for almost 5 hours. The most glorious 5 hours of sleep this mama's had in awhile!

* You still rarely fuss unless you are tired, hungry, or wet - my how you don't like to have a wet diaper on!

* When fussy, you like for us to walk or pace. Usually up on our shoulder with your pacifier.

* You eat every 2.5-3 hours during the day and usually stay awake for close to an hour after each feeding. At night, you've been eating around 8:30-9 and sleeping until close to 2 a.m. You then wake-up again around 6 a.m. where we enjoy a little one-on-one time before your brother wakes :)

* We've enjoyed neighborhood walks, a couple of outings to Target, and dinner out at Blue Moon. I'm gearing up for our first grocery run :)

* You like to swing, lay under the mobile in your crib, and watch your light-up toys
