Brecken - 1 Month Old

My little boy hit the one month mark today.  I didn't realize a piece of my heart was missing until this sweetie was born.  He has had a busy month and learned so much!

He came to his new home (January 16, 2013).

 

At first he slept all the time!

 And then he became more alert.

 He took his first bath (January 17, 2013).

 He worked on strengthening his neck.

Brecken took his first walk (January 29, 2013).

 

He fell in love with his sister.

 

  He learned to smile (February 7, 2013 at 3 weeks old).

 

 And he hit the 1 month mark.

• Weight: Somewhere between 8 and 9 pounds.
• Length: 21.5-22 inches

• Clothes: You are wearing newborn and some 0-3 month clothes.

• Shoes: We have not put shoes on you yet.

• Diapers: Size 1

• Food: Just mommy milk

• Development: You have a very strong neck and hold your head up most of the time when we carry you around.  You learned to smile at 3 weeks and can now smile when we ask you to.  You recognize our voices and turn to us when we talk.

• Words: None

• Sleep: You sleep for 5-7 hour stretches at night followed by a 3+ hour stretch. You wake up once each night.You still sleep in our room.  I moved your sister at 3.5 weeks to her own room, but I just can't part with you yet.

• What I love about you: I love our afternoon snuggles in the chair when you sleep on my chest.  Your smiles are the absolute best!  We just love having a little boy!

 

 Happy 1 month birthday Brecken!  We love you so very much and are so blessed to be able to love on you every single day!
