One Month

This little buddy was one month old as of last Friday.  He's growing up too fast for me!  I'm so glad that Brad's home this summer so we can enjoy time as a family.  Nathan is such a sweet little baby.  Always happy as can be.  Here's a little bit about Nathan at one month.

• He's growing like a weed!  At our last pediatrician's visit (2 weeks ago) he weighted 9 lbs 4 oz.  He's been getting the chubbiest little cheeks which are all the better for mommy to kiss.
• He loves to look out the window when I'm rocking him in the nursery.
• Since he's the son of a future dentist we bought the orthodontic pacifiers.  He won't take them.  So, we tried the soothies (the ones they use in the hospital) and he's finally getting it.  It usually only last a few minutes though before he pops it out.
• Loves, loves, loves bath time.
• His eyes are the most beautiful blue.  We're still trying to figure out what his hair color is going to be.  Most of the time it looks blond, but every once in a while it looks red.  That would really be a shock since neither of us have redheads in our family.  I guess we'll see.

• He loves to sleep with his arms up.  Occasionally he will let me put him in the swaddle pod, but sometimes he just won't have it.  Too bad since he's so cute all swaddled up.
• When he is asleep he's out.  He goes about 4 or 5 hours at night which I love.  And he usually takes a great naps too.
• He's happiest in the morning and right after his afternoon nap.  We get a lot of great smiles and cute noises then.
• Our favorite noise is this grunt he makes (sounds like "ehh".)  We can't help but mimic him every time he does it.
