Mark is one month old!

 

Just like that, our little boy is one month old! It has gone by so fast! Here are some stats about Mark and his first month of life:

 

*Still nursing every 2-3 hours and every 3-4 sometimes 5 hours at night! I am feeling super refreshed right now because I fed you at 9:00 last night and your daddy gave you a bottle of pumped milk around midnight. You didn't wake up again to eat until 5:30 so Mommy got a very long stretch of sleep!

 

*We just moved up to size 1 diapers this week!

 

*Still wearing mostly newborn clothes. Some 0-3 month onesies fit but when I tried on a pair of 0-3 month shorts on you, they swallowed you and wouldn't stay on.

 

*When we took you to the doctor last week to check on your lungs (swallowed meconium at birth) you weighed 8 pounds 6 oz! Up almost 2 pounds since birth, chunky monkey!

 

*You continue to be a very happy baby and usually only cry when you are hungry or this week when Mommy ate chinese food and it did not agree with your tummy!

 

*You love to watch your big sister and play on your playmat.

 

*We have taken you lots of places! It is so different with the 2nd child, Mommy is a lot less paranoid! We just make sure your carrier is covered so people do not touch you.

 

We love you baby boy! You have brought so much joy to our family!
