One Month Old

Nate is one month old today. I can't believe it has already been that long since we brought him home.....yet I can't remember what life was like without him.

My sisters gave me these cards that I thought were fun to track how old Nate is. Every month you use the next card! It will be fun to watch him grow month to month.

Here are a few things that we've learned about our little man in the first month:

1). He is a wiggle worm. He recently started pushing off anything and everything his feet touch which makes feeding and putting him to sleep fun. He is long enough to push off the chairs and he loves doing it.

2). He loves light...especially sunlight coming through a window. Whenever the sun shines through in to the house, he just sits and stares.

3). He loves being outside, which is a bummer right now because it's still over 100 degrees so it's unbearable during the day. But at night, we try to take him out there for a little while because he loves it so much. He instantly calms down when we go outside.

4). He loves his baths. He got his first "real" bath last night since his circumcision is finally close to being healed. He had a great time in the water which I was grateful for since I LOVE water.

5). He loves it when his diaper is off. He pees almost every time. It's also his favorite time to poop and he somehow shoots it 3 feet to cover the wall. Yuck.

6). While he does OK at night, sleeping during the day is something he's not a fan of. Unless he falls in to a dead sleep while eating, it takes a long time to get him to sleep regardless of how tired he is. If he gets enough sleep, he is a really happy boy. If he's tired, watch out because he's GRUMPY. Geeze, that sounds a lot like his mom. :)

He reminds us daily that he runs the show in the Griffeth household. We're enjoying figuring him out and we love having him in our family. We look forward to what the next month will bring!
