One WHOLE Month?!

WOW...I cannot believe he is one month old! I am trying to find a cute (and appropriately sized) stuffed animal so I can compare how big he is every month (I am copying Courtney on this since it was such a great idea!) but the only stuffed animals I have are comically large (and super cuddly). I'll keep working on this!

Things he likes to do now:

- Sleep on your chest (more specifically Uncle Jack's chest, but in the middle of the night mine will do ;))

- Watch you talk....it really looks like he knows what you are saying! Grandmother asks him, "Have I told you lately that I looovve you?!" and Hayes will smile so big!

- Early morning BMs...a very interesting way to wake up...and I completely make this Joey's problem since I am the ultimate feed bag ;)

- Have his picture made - well he hasn't so much said that he likes them but since it's not going to stop any time soon, he better get used to it!

- Push off with his feet AND hold his head up - we are amazed at how strong he is for just being one month old. He loves to hold his head up to look at you (especially when lying on your chest!). He loses control and bangs his head on your collar one every once in a while (at which time he gets mad and it's completely your fault)

- EAT - oh my Lord, can the boy eat! I don't know how much he weighs now, but I KNOW he's growing (the double chin tells me he's getting enough to eat...no need to count wet diapers!)

We are having some good nights (I actually got 9 hours of sleep total the other night and I was a happy camper) and some not so good nights where he wants to play in the middle of the night or he just wants to sleep with us. He is pretty good at getting what he wants because we hate to listen to him cry and Joey and I both love to sleep ;)

He has been a relatively easy baby though and he is so much fun! We love him more and more each day ;)
