1 Month

Today Paxton is 1 month old! On one hand, I can’t believe it’s already been a month, on the other hand, I can’t believe it’s only been a month…it feels like he’s been a part of our lives forever!

Ready to go to church as a 1 month old, wearing a precious outfit that his daddy wore as a baby!

This month’s milestones:

• Starting to lose the newborn look…he’s not as curled up and looks so much longer
• He’s outgrown his newborn clothes (yes, mama had a sad moment!)
• Wearing 0-3 month clothes now (although 0-3 month pants are too big in the waist…he’s skinny like his daddy!)
• In a Size 1 diaper
• His Bum Genius One-Size diapers are on the smallest setting with a newborn insert (we put the regular insert in at night)
• Longer periods of sleep although no patterns have emerged yet. (This past week he slept 6 hours a couple of nights and 7.5 one night!)
• Trying to hold his head up!
• Rolled over at 4 days old (it hasn’t happened again yet!)
• Likes being outside, if he’s fussy we walk outside and he immediately calms
• Started making eye contact this past week
• Follows us with his eyes!
• A good little eater! We’ve had no breastfeeding issues!
• Eating every 3 hours during the day (every now and then it’ll be only 2)
• Listens to stories that mama reads, it calms him down and puts him to sleep sometimes!
• Enjoys mama singing hymns and lullabies even though I can’t sing
• Hates having his face washed but otherwise enjoys his bath time
• Likes his swing and looks out the window while swinging
• Has already Skyped numerous times (technology is wonderful with family living far away!)

What a sad little face!

A classic Paxton “burping face”! (It’s even cuter is his eyes are closed!)

I love Paxton’s expression and he looks so tiny compared to daddy’s hands!
