One Month Birthday!!

Today marks Nolan's "One Month Birthday!" It's really crazy how fast time seems to be flying. I can't believe it's already been a month since he was born.

I was trying to think of something I could do to keep track of how much he grows, and I finally thought of buying the same outfit, one in a 3-month size and the other in a 12-month size and then take pictures with each outfit every month to mark his monthly birthdays.

So here is Nolan at 1 month in the 3-month outfit (definitely still baggy and the shorts won't stay up!!)...

And here he is in the 12-month outfit (alas his legs don't even show through the shorts!!)

I think it will be fun to measure his growth each month and watch how the 3-month outfit begins to get too small and the 12-month outift start to fit him more and more.

Some facts about Nolan at 1 month:

* He's still wearing newborn diapers but as soon as the current pack runs out, we'll be moving on up to size 1.

*He still fits snugly into the Newborn size of clothes, but is mostly wearing the 0-3 month size now (it is crazy for me to have a normal sized newborn this time around, with two 9 pounders before him!!)

*He isn't sleeping quite as well as his first week at home, but he still gives me a good 7-8 hours at night and only wakes up to eat 2-3 times and then goes right back to sleep.

*He likes his pacifier at times, but never sleeps with it at night.

*He loves both the Baby Bjorn and the Baby K'tan carriers that we have and will usually fall asleep in them within about 5 minutes.

*He loves getting his diaper changed but seems to just tolerate bathtime!

*He does not like to be left alone and really prefers to be snuggled up tight next to someone.

*He LOVES being swaddled at night!

*He still has a full head of brown hair (with a slightly receding hairline though!)

*He is just becoming more aware of his surroundings and has even given us a smile or two when we talk to him.

We are crazy-in-love with our little Nolan Boy and we are so glad that he is ours!!
