1 Month!

As of today our little Burton Christopher is 1 month old!  Seriously, where did this last month go?  It came and went somewhere in between every 2 hour feedings and watching the 1,000th episode of House Hunters.  It's been a busy month (more on that later), but we are so incredibly thankful that you are here!

Burton here are your stats at 1 month:

Weight- This past Tues you were 8lb. 10 ounces.

Height- Didn't get a measurement on this.

Sleep- You LOVE to sleep, as long as it is on top of your Mommy.  Otherwise, sleep is a little challenging for you.  At night we try to get you to go down in your rock n play, but a lot of nights you just aren't having it.  As if you are saying, "Momma please, you and I both know this isn't happening".  The longest stretch you have given us without being with me was from 10:30 to about 3:30.  That has happened once.  IF we do get you to lay down by yourself, you will at best give us 3 hours.  Each week gets better, so hopefully we will have a better routine at 2 months!

Likes- Eating (like a champ), sleeping (with Mommy at night and anyone who will hold you during the day), riding in the car (puts you right to sleep).

Dislikes: Being awake and not eating, tummy time

Diaper Size- You moved out of newborns into Size 1 about a week ago.

Clothes Size- Still in newborn and 0-3.  You are smaller than Sis was, so it's been nice to be able to wear your newborn things for longer than a week!

Feeding- Nursing really well.  Every 2-3 hours during the day.

Hair Color- Who knows?  When it is clean, it almost looks strawberry dirty blonde.  If you haven't had a bath in a day or so, it looks light brown.

Eye Color- For now dark blue/gray

Nicknames- Daddy calls you Buckaroo.  Mommy hasn't settled on anything yet.

Milestones- You have really started to fixate on our faces when we talk to you.  You even gave a real smile just yesterday.  First to Honey and then a little while later to me.  Can't wait for these to become frequent!

Burton, you are the sweetest, it has been such a joy spending the last month with you.  We cannot wait to see what kind of personality and life you will bring to our family.  I love you to the moon and back.  Now if you could just sleep a little more often on your own, Mommy might could actually keep this house clean.... It's ok though Baby B, it's just an excuse for Mommy to sit and hold you a little while longer.  I know one day I will miss these snuggles, so I will cherish them while they last.
