One Month and 29 Years!

Last Friday Luke turned one month old! He already looks so much different I think mostly because his face has filled out quite a bit. This first month has had its ups and downs. He's adorable which helps a ton but sometimes the crying can be overwhelming. Thankfully he's only really had one purple crying fit (apparently it peaks at 2 months so we'll see) and it was incredibly hard to watch and listen to. I felt so bad for him. As of right now his sleeping has gotten a bit better, at least at night. He does down about 10 and gets up around 2. Then gets up again about 6:30. It's a major improvement from every 3 hours. By the time you fed him and laid him back down you were lucky to get an hour and a half! I think the hospital made us paranoid about making sure he was eating every 2-3 hours since they would come in and make sure you were not going to long between feedings. Andy has been great in basically taking over when he gets home from work and even getting up for the first feeding on the weekends. He is such an awesome dad. Luke and I are so very blessed!

We had our one month check up today. He is 50th percentile in everything, weight (10lbs 4oz), length (21.5 inches), and head circumference. He also got his second Hep B shot today. I think we ALL cried. What a terrible job that much be, giving poor little babies shots! Luke, we love you so much we're willing to put you through that to protect you...Other that rolling over another cute thing he has started doing is cooing occasionally as well as smiling more meaningfully sometimes. Those moments are so precious to us and we can't wait until he does it even more! When he makes eye contact with you purposefully it just melts our hearts and man is he strong! Even the doctors always notice how strong he is!

Here is our sweet boy at 1 month! The lighting was awful this day so I might try to get some other photos later...we'll see...



 

So our super awesome Mr. Andy turned 29 Saturday! When asked where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner he chose Domino's. That's my husband...he puts everyone else before himself. Especially his little boy. And he was right, staying home was much easier then going out would have been. After we ate our wonderful friends invited us over for a birthday dessert (which was great because I have had NO time to bake :o( ). They got Andy chocolate cupcakes and even had candles for him to blow out. They are so sweet!

 

Alright, enough for now. I'm sure there will be more to come this week!
