One Month

How is it possible that this little guy is already one month old???!!

Miles continues to grow like a weed.
At his two week check, he weighed 11 pounds 1/2 ounce and measured 22 inches long.
I am sure he has since added to both those numbers!

Newborn diapers were a joke - he didn't even wear those in the hospital!
And I am already thinking of switching to size 2s
since he's almost out of the weight range for size 1s.
 The 0-3 month clothes didn't last long, and we've already pulled out the 3-6 month set.
Hopefully he won't outgrow Max's hand-me-downs too quickly... :)

Miles is so laid back and doesn't cry much at all.
 The things that make him cry are: changing clothes, getting out of the bath,

when Max steps on him/ pokes him in the eye/ gives him a good shove in the swing,

and if he's got a stubborn gas bubble that Mommy didn't quite burp out. :)

He'll sometimes fuss for a minute or two when I put him down for a nap.

He nurses about every 3 hours during the day (I usually have to wake him to eat).

We are still working on extending those nighttime feedings. :)
He made it to 5 hours the past few nights. Hooray!

I am always amazed at what newborns can sleep through - 

and Miles has to sleep through a LOT! 

Toddler tantrums, noisy air conditioners,

the washing machine/ dishwasher, musical toys, 

big brother's Riverdance impressions.

Thank goodness for white noise!

He is a good sleeper despite all the ruckus, and for that I am so so glad!

We swaddle him anytime he's going to sleep,
but I soon plan to switch over to sleep sacks (for naps, anyways).
Miles also likes his WubbaNub but doesn't always need it to fall asleep - yet.

When Miles is awake, he is loves to look around with his big blue eyes.
I predict they will stay blue! Thanks, Daddy. :)
He has also shown us his adorable little smile...
either that or he's really gassy!

He is getting better at tummy time and tolerates it for about 10 minutes twice a day.

I am so impressed with how strong he already is - 

turning his head well and occasionally pushing up onto his forearms.

Although we have learned a lot about sweet Miles in the past month,

we have realized there is still a lot to learn!
We look forward to getting to know more about this sweet baby boy. :)
