Christian 1 month old

Christian is already 1 month old today! I can't believe how fast this first month has gone. He has been a joy to have in our family. He has filled out a lot and is growing so fast! We went in for a check-up and he is up to 8 lbs. 4 oz. Since our last check up, 2weeks ago, he has gained a pound and a half!

Julia has been really great at adjusting to a new baby in the house. The first few nights we had him home she would wake up every time Christian did. She would wander into my room and ask what was wrong. I assured her everything was alright. It was cute to see her so interested and concerned about him. She has been a really great 'big sister!' You will often hear her say, "Hi, buddy," that's what she calls him. She is a big help with helping me get diapers and the binky. She loves to sit by him and just be with him!

Christian is a really good eater. Loves to eat and it feels like thats all he does! He also is really good at holding his head up. When he is wide awake he sits contently and just soaks everything in. He will follow your voice and just loves to look around!

Besides eating, sleeping is what he does best! He's not sleeping through the night but we have a sleep routine as crazy as that may be. He wakes up every 3-4 hours so at least I'm able to get a little rest during the night!

First official bath. Not to happy about this but what kid would be! He was a little more content being wrapped up and dry!

We tried out the swing and sometimes he's content and other times he doesn't like it so much.
