I can't believe my baby boy is one month already! Blows my mind, and yet a lot seems to have happened that I almost forget what it was like before we had him. He LOVES being held, and cries the second he is put down. He is very snuggly which I love except when I need to sleep or pump. We have found that the swing buys us 3-5 hrs if sleep, so that is nice. We are still working on nursing. It seems to be a constant trial for me and my babies. I am hoping for that to change soon. It's hard taking care of a newborn that cries when they aren't being held, has a hard tine nursing, a 15 mo old who wants to play/needs attention, and pumping enough to keep my supply up. But all in all, we have 2 wonderful sweet babies! We love them so much
He seems so small to me, I don't know what I would do with a smaller baby. My favorite thing is when he lays on my chest, on his tummy, with his arms folded under his little head. His cute little face and hands Melts my heart! I also remember having him in bed with me at the hospital, tucked in my arm. His arm rested on my arm, like he was a big kid, not hours old. Such a cute little man. He is opening his eyes more, they are so big and blue, blue, blue! I would be surprised if he didn't stay blue eyed. He has dark brown hair, but it almost looks like it is lightening. He is adorable. Joe's favorite thing about Joey is his big blur eyes. He also things his skinny chicken legs and small bum are cute too. We are always surprised how different our two babies are. But they are both adorable in their own way.
He is getting so strong. He has a lot of neck strength and can almost hold his head up by himself. When he is lying awake on his tummy in my arms he pushes off with his legs, trying to climb up my chest. He has been eating 3-4.5 oz of breast milk. His second day he had jaundice and weight loss, but he is doing and looking so much better.
He was blessed the 29th of March by his father in Lehi 20th ward. Those in attendance were: momma and bug sister Addie, Grandma Linda Hebdon, Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Jeff Bare family, Uncle Kevin and Aunt Rachel and family. It was a very special day and he was a perfectly behaved baby. We were so proud!
