Henry: 1 month

1 month

We have been blessed with such good babies.

He sleeps, he eats, he poops.

It's been great.

Honestly, it took him a little while to get good at nursing, well moreso latching on correctly. Actually, I think he probably picked it up just as normally as any other baby, I think it's just that Amelia had a really great latch from the get go, so I was expecting that.

But the boy is cute, and so content and happy all the time!

He really loves to be held.

I think I've figured out his sleep/eat/play (repeat) routine and what keeps him calm and happy. I have started to just let him sleep long stretches at night, whereas before I was waking him up every 3-4 hrs at night or he would wake up on his own. He's given me some 4-6 hr stretches lately and I love him for that! I was starting to feel a little sleep deprived and after just 2 nights of decent sleep, I'm feeling refreshed.

Even though he is still a tiny newborn, I can totally tell how much he is growing already!

Well, I already wrote about how our little family of four is doing....now I just can't wait for this little boy to grow and show us his personality. I'm starting to get a few smiles here and there. It's truly a wonderful thing seeing my children grow and learn. While it's hard to know that they will never be this tiny again, I've come to accept that the growth and learning is far more exciting. Now that we've seen Amelia become such a cool toddler, we are even more excited to get to know Henry and see who he will become.
