1 Month Old

Eli

We can hardly believe you are already one month old!! You have already brought so much joy to our lives!! You are not quite sleeping as long as we would like at night, but your daddy is working with you on straightening out your days and nights. The last 2 nights you have actually slept 4 consecutive hours. In our world this is HUGE!! You are starting to really love your pacifier, which helps hold you over longer between feedings. You still love to eat though, and you're taking about 4 oz every 3 hours. You're one quickly growing boy! In fact you were never able to wear the majority of your newborn clothes, and you are getting pretty close to growing out of your 3 month clothes already too. You're just so tall already that its hard to squeeze you into those little outfits! You love taking rides in the car and in your stroller. However, you hate the sun and every time we bring you outside you squint your eyes, throw up your arms, and start to cry. Hopefully we grow out of that phase soon because I know your dad cannot wait to take you swimming! Speaking of your dad, he is your absolute favorite person. No matter what is going on if he is in the room you never take your eyes off of him. He is also the only one who can make you smile!! You also hate getting your picture taken and being left in a room alone. You already figured out how to pull your mommas hair and even held your own bottle the other day! You have grown out of the "stink eye" phase and now open both eyes! This month you have already taken your first trip to a restaurant and the mall. You slept through both but I know you really enjoyed your outings!! We're looking forward to next month and all the new places we'll go and the milestones you will hit. We love you baby boy, Happy 1 Month!!
