September 17, 2011 = One Month of Life for Baby P

My happy little glow worm
Happy 1 month birthday Paisley!!  This past month has been the quickest month out of the past 9, funny how that works!  So our little P monster has been growing and changing on a daily basis. 

His stats at birth:
6lbs. 5.9oz
19 inches long

His stats at 1 month:
8lbs. 12oz
21 inches long

My one month old (complete with Buddah belly)!

He continues to be exclusively breastfed which you can tell by his weight gain is working out quite nicely.  During the night he typically goes down between 9-10pm.  He will wake us between 1-2am to eat and again between 4-5am.  Then he sleeps until 8ish.  It appears he currently favors his Momma but that's probably because I'm his source of food.  Here are a few of his other favorite things;

-Having Mom or Dad sing to him
-His musical frog
-His Neptune play mat
-Having his bottom patted while being rocked
-Bath time
-Riding in the car
-Staring at semi-bright lights

A few of his dislikes;
-Being left alone
-Having clothes pulled over his head
-Pacifiers
-Dirty diapers
-A stroller ride on a rocky surface

Getting a little love from his favorites

He's given us plenty of smiles since we've had him, but I don't think he realizes what he is doing.  He's also rolled from his stomach to his back 6 times, but once again, I don't think he realizes what he is doing.  He has a love/hate relationship with tummy time, but it's so cute to watch him hold his head up.  He has been out to dinner with us a few times, the Nisbet Inn being his first restaurant.  He's also enjoyed his first evening around a campfire.  He spent most of the evening staring at the full moon, but I'm sure he enjoyed the fire too!

One month in, a lifetime to go! I think we'll keep him.

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the ...

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my ...

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no...
