What a big boy!
This has been the most amazing month of our lives...even though sleep deprivation has really taken it's toll...we still wouldn't change it for the world!!
It has been quite a roller coaster ride. One day Marcus is sleeping so wonderfully and the next he is on a mission to eat every 1 to 2 hrs for the ENTIRE day and night. It makes sense though cuz he has been growing like a champ! He seems to be gaining about 2 ounces/day. At our last appt on 12/17, he weighed 8 pds 11oz. That is quite a big difference from his birth weight.
This is a day in the life with Marcus...truly his favorite things to do:
Eat
Burp
Sleep in Mom's "moby"
Smile
Eat
Burp
Sleep over someone's shoulder
A little playtime on his back and/or tummy
Going on car rides
Oh did I mention that he likes to EAT, BURP, and SLEEP OVER SOMEONE'S SHOULDER? I suppose those are all "normal" newborn things which is wonderful...then flash to 3am & you want to sleep but he doesn't want to be put down in his crib or bassinet...that can make it interesting. I've heard he'll out grow it. Plus, I believe strongly that you can't spoil them...so I've learned to just suck it up! After all, babies are only this small once & this is the BEST job I have ever had!!!!!!!!
Of course we had to celebrate his 1 month b-day...here's some pics from our birthday photo shoot...
It's serious binky time...no messing around with this one! :)
Loving my Grammy...Marcus with his Nona...they are definitely in love.
