Brooks: 1 Month

Brooks,
   You are already one month old! It seems like we have had you so much longer than that, but it also feels like we just had you. You fit so perfectly into our little family. At this point in your life, you are pretty easy-going. You eat every 2-3 hours and poop ALL. THE. TIME! Seriously. We change diapers constantly. You are also a really good sleeper. You sleep about 5 hours at night. Thank you for that!     You are so big buddy! You already outgrew your newborn clothes and fit quite nicely in your 0-3 month stuff. People are always surprised when I tell them how old you are. They say that you must have been born a month or two late because you just look so big and alert! (I am pretty sure you smiled too. I know people say that babies don't smile until 6 weeks old, but you smiled at your daddy at 2 weeks. He would talk to you and say can you smile, and you did it every time!) You are such a good baby too. You are just so content and love to cuddle. You get pretty upset if you aren't being held, but I don't mind. I will take those cuddles as long as you are giving them out! 

Proof that you were smiling! 
Such a big boy! Huge belly!

    During your first month of life you have had a lot going on. You had lots of people wanting to come see you. You also had a little jaundice so we had to keep you under lights and go to the hospital each day to get your blood levels checked. It was so sad seeing them poke your foot! You would cry for a few seconds and then settle down. You are so tough and brave! You also had your newborn pictures taken. They are so precious. I will cherish those pictures forever. 

    Sweet boy, we love you so much and are so happy that you are part of our family now!
                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                    Love, 
                                                                                                                      Mommy
