Our sweet boy is already 1 month old! He is such a sweetheart and an easy going guy so far! He LOVES eating and generally just likes to suck, so he's also great at taking a binky and has used a bottle twice. Nursing is going really well this time around, especially since he is such a fast eater. He's usually done withing 15 minutes! Here are a few things about Max:
- Generally sleeps 3 hours inbetween feedings (even at night), but has given me a few 6 heavenly hour stretches at night.
- He's a pooping machine and almost always poops within minutes of a diaper change, even if it was a poopy one.
- He lost his umbilical chord at 4 days old and has the cutest little belly button
- He rolled over from his belly to his back at one week and will almost always do it when put on his belly.
- He gave us his first real smiles last night! I was talking and cooing to him and he was watching me and giving me HUGE smiles! It was the cutest ever! He has been the earliest to smile out of all of our kids.
- He's been in size one diapers for about two weeks! I'm hoping he will be a chunker!
- He still fits in most newborn clothes, but also fills out 0-3 month clothing.
- He is still a huge mover (just like he was in the womb) and will lay on the floor and pump his legs and arms and arch his back to look all over the place.
- He's always grabbing and scratching his face, so he usually has socks on his hands.
- So far his eyes are looking blue, especially when he has other blue around him. We shall see!
- He is a huge Mama's boy and will usually calm down when he hears my voice or I pick him up. He loves snuggling and having his face next to mine.
- He loves taking showers with Daddy and having the water run over him.
- He is fascinate by the fan and loves laying under it and watching it.
- He is one sweaty boy! He gets really sweaty when he sleeps and does better with the fan on to cool him off. We bathe him every day, but he only keeps that "newborn smell" for a few hours before he smells like a sweaty little boy!
