One Month Old

Oh Sweet Grant - I can't express to you how fast your precious 1st month of life has passed us by.  You are such a good baby - eating, sleeping and going with the flow.  You are up to 4 oz. of formula about every 4 hours or so.  We're having a little trouble with gas - but it only lasts for a few minutes and then you are back to your sweet self.   You love for us to hold you, but you also like the swing and bouncer seat.  You have slept in your baby bed every night swaddled from the chest down.  You like to know where your hands are.  You like the paci when you want it and then you really want it - other times you are just content and don't care for it.  You have been a champ where ever we take you - camp recitals, chick fil a playdates, church, kiddie carnival.   At 2 1/2 weeks you weighed 7lbs. 15 oz. and we had to take you back after that to help get your little belly button healed up.  You weighed 8lbs. 15oz (fully dressed with a soaked diaper) at 3 1/2 weeks so really more like 8 1/2lbs.  Your little cheeks have definitely filled out.  Bath time is getting better - some times you love it and others you hate - mainly b/c you don't like to be cold - same as diaper changes.  Your sisters love you just as much as they did from the minute they found out you were coming.  You tolerate them holding you  and being in your face sometimes.  Oh we Love you so much and so glad you have blessed our lives.
