1 Month Old

Well I realize this post should have happened on Friday but hey the title of the post says it all, 1 Month Old, meaning not a lot of free time.  We also had a very busy weekend!

On to the point of the post...on Friday, September 27th Rhett James turned 1 month old!  I can't believe how fast time flies.  I know that sounds so cliche and it really is when everyone else says it but when you have your own child, the saying takes on a whole new meaning.  There are definitely those days that seem to drag, not fly, but when you look at the whole picture, it really does fly!

I really am trying to be good at this picture thing and documenting everything so here are some of his 1 month pictures I took.

 Isn't he the most adorable 1 month old you've ever seen?!

Look at that face...I die!

He's getting so big and in this picture you can see how long he is!

Then mommy wanted a picture with her handsome boy...and he didn't really want one with her.

So we took a bunch instead :)

My mom got these stickers for me at one of my baby showers.  They are so adorable and sort of go with the theme of his nursery (which I will have to share sometime).

These hands are always by his face.

Again, look how long he's getting!  Stop growing Rhett!

Needless to say I am obsessed with this kid!

So at 1 month he weighs 8 lbs. 5 oz. and is 20 1/2 inches long!  He is beginning to enjoy his baths although he hates getting ready for them and really hates getting out (maybe he's cold :/), but the being in the bath part is better (he doesn't scream every time anymore).  Just in the last week he's become so much more alert.  I feel like he's recognizing me and my voice more (which I must say makes my heart sing...happy momma here!).  Oh and does he LOVE to eat or what!  Boy is packing on the pounds now!  He doesn't love tummy time but I try every day.  I like to lay him down and read to him and he likes it too on occasion.  I am in love with his face! He has the best lips ever and they are so animated!  He makes the cutest faces.  He makes this face that we call the Dr. Evil face.  Him and I are getting used to this breastfeeding thing although sometimes we still struggle.  He has some gas problems and gets fussy in the evenings but I get him happy all day until then.  Overall, this month has flown by and I am loving the whole experience.  It's tough, and challenging, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!

I love you Rhett James!  Happy 1 month birthday!
