Month One: In Review

It's hard to believe that GW is already one month old, but it's true. Today marks his one month calendar birthday. Technically he is four weeks and three days old.

Our son is already proving to be quite the strong fellow. Look at him holding his head at 90 degrees. The experts say that isn't supposed to happen for another couple of weeks yet. Granted, he can't hold it there forever, but I am still mightily impressed.

Another thing that the experts might argue with me about is his first social smile. They say it comes sometime during the second month. Well, I can tell you that my son smiled at his momma at three weeks. And boy, is it a gorgeous smile. He has three adorable dimples, one on the right side of his mouth, and two on the left. He's a heart breaker!

We're still working on the sleep schedule. Every once and a while he'll sneak in a four or five hour stretch of sleep at night, but usually he wakes to eat every three hours on the dot. And, I'm still trying to convince him to only poop during daylight hours. Too bad he doesn't listen to me.

GW and Jader are getting along fabulously. Yesterday, Jader was blowing in his face and he gave her the biggest grin. It was really adorable. It is fun to see the two siblings interact with each other.

The past month has gone by in a blur, but it is a great privilege to have two healthy children in our home, and to have this wonderful addition in our family.
