.uno.

Of course I have to give myself an update of our little guy at month one. I have a feeling I'll forget all of the cool things I love and laugh at that Finn does at that stage in his life.

Month one finds Finn:
Loving baths- As long as that water is warm he is as calm as can be. Out of the tub is a different matter.
Eating like mad- He is pretty much on cue...every two hours...I can set a clock by his schedule. Of course that is all completely up in the air after 9:00 pm. He can go up to 4 hours or as little as an one hour between feedings. This, as you can imagine, can be very frustrating for his very tired mom.
Wants to be held- He can be out like a light, and as soon as he is put down the fussing begins. That also makes for long nights.
Smiling- Whether gas or not, he is dishing out those smiles in greater quantity, and mom and dad are Loving it!
Grunting/Sighing- When he eats now he does this rhythmic grunting/sighing that is SO sweet.
Moving- Finn has a pair of legs that he moves like crazy, and his arms and hands are being discovered too. We call him Houdini because he always manages to get out of his swaddle no matter how tight we wrap him. Growing- He is still in his Newborn Dipes, but those are slowly getting too small, especially with his little rolls he is acquiring on his skinny thighs.

It's bitter-sweet seeing how much he is growing. We love our little man, and can't wait to see what month 2 brings!!

you should have garrett teach you how to wrap him. mikey gets out EVERY time i wrap him, but not as often when G does it. and i taught him how to swaddle.

i love the smiles. i love the sighs. i love everything about this age, except not sleeping.

Finn is so adorable, I might be needing a fix sometime next week :)

He's adorable Beth. If you don't already, you'll want to get a video camera. It's amazing to go back and see how your kids moved and talked.
