Carson is 1 Month Old

 Our little cutie sleeping

Today our sweet little boy is one  month old.  Man, this month seemed to fly by.  Not going to lie, I'm glad.  I'm different than most I think, because I'm not a fan of the newborn stage,  You don't sleep, you don't feel good and baby sleeps, eats, and fills his pants.  Well after one month, he still eats, sleeps off and on and doesn't fill his pants as much.  We still aren't getting that much sleep but that's going to change this month (fingers crossed).  However, he's becoming more and more alert each day and is trying to focus a lot on things.  He already thinks he is big and can hold his head up for little bits of time. He doesn't like tummy time, but likes his play mat for short periods of time. Carson is a cuddler, he loves to lay on our chest and sleep that way.  He falls asleep a lot in his swing, unlike his brother who never liked his.  He is getting used to bathtime and we are starting to semi form a daily routine.  He has been taking a long nap in the afternoon lately and it has coincided with his brother's which is good for mom.  Also  he has been going to bed at a fairly decent time but then gets up through the night about every 2-3 hours.  He has been smiling a lot, I don't think they are supposed to smile at people yet, but he really seems to every once in awhile.  This week he has been such a good baby, which I'm so thankful for.  He is still being breastfed but we have started bottles here and there this week.  Not quite sure big man is getting enough. 

Yesterday we went to the doctor for his 1 month visit and everything was good  He weighed 8lbs and 10 oz, and was 20 1/2 inches.  At his birth and 1 week check up he weighed 6lbs and 4 oz so he has gained quite a bit in a few weeks and has grew 1 1/2 inches.  I knew he was getting taller because he is starting to outgrow in length a lot of his newborn clothes and we have moved up to size 1 diapers.  So our new little man is doing great and looking more and more like Noah each day.  We have been blessed with two cute boys!  Love them!

Wide awake playing on his playmat.  He has learned he has to stay alert to watch out for that crazy brother of his always trying to get as close as he can to him.
