James is one month old today! I can't believe it! Here are some of the things we have learned about him so far:
Size
When we went to the doctor last week he weighed 9 lbs 0 oz (50%). He was 21.5 inches long (75%). His head was 14 inches (25%). He's tall and skinny with a little head, just like his daddy! He can still squeeze into newborn clothes, but they are definitely getting too small, but most of the 0-3 month clothes are too big. Same with diaper size, newborns are getting too small and size 1 are big. He's just in the awkward in between stage.
Sleeping
He loves to sleep during the day! But... not so much at night... He pretty much only falls asleep if he's being snuggled unless he's completely exhausted. We're working on getting him to sleep at night. Last night he slept for about 5 hours although mommy did not because she had to hold him in order for him to sleep that long. It's a work in progress...
Eating
He is a great eater! We are totally getting the hang of this breastfeeding thing. He only eats formula if mommy is away for longer than 3 hours (it's only happened a few times). Mommy's favorite thing in the world is the cute noises he makes when he eats. Mommy's least favorite thing is that she's the only one who can feed him... can't someone else take a turn every now and then?? Oh well... We really do love the bonding time.

Cuddling!!!
His binkie
The fan...Seriously! He will be fussing and fussing and then see the fan and immediately relax.
Bouncing...which is killing mommy and daddy's backs and arms!
Dislikes
Bath time
His car seat
We sure do love this little baby of ours! He makes us laugh every single day with his funny faces (his pooping face is the funnies thing in the entire world) and with his cute noises. We love seeing him grow and watching his sweet personality. We have the best baby (seriously, he hardly ever cries) and we are so in love with him!
