1 Month!

Jaemus was 1 month old yesterday! We feel like we have had him forever but at the same time he is growing up so fast! He has already gained almost 3 pounds and grew 2 1/2 inches! He fit in newborn clothes for about a day and has grown out of the 0-3 month size and I just put his 3 month clothes in his drawers today.

Jaemus has had a busy month of two weddings, two wedding rehearsals, and one Bridal Shower. It has been a tiring month of sleep deprivation, constant nursing, entertaining a two year old, and attending a lot of social events. I feel I will never catch up on normal things!

Bailey adjusted very well to having an infant around and she surprises me with the gentle patience she has with him when he is fussy. She lights up when she sees him after waking up or coming in after playing.

So far what I have learned about our little guy is that he is hungry a lot, loves to cuddle and be in the sling, will let us know when he is tired, hungry, uncomfortable, wet, or just needing to snuggle. He keeps me busy but he is so sweet and I love to snuggle him. He gives me about a 4 hour chunk of sleep in the night and then two or three hours after that. He is an early riser of about 5 am and then wants to eat every hour until about 8 am. So, I am tired! We have been very house bound because he is unpredictable with his feedings and it is difficult to time anything out.

He seems to be responding to Bailey in a positive way that is really sweet. He seems to light up when she is in his face and she sings to him, pinches his cheeks, and gives him "choo-choo kisses." Bailey likes to snuggle with him in the morning in her crib and talk to him about Peter Pan and her new obsession, fire-works. Their growing relationship melts our hearts.

We love our babies and our so blessed!
