one month!

May 22, 2011
Dear E,
You are 1 month old!! You are the sweetest baby ever and rarely cry. The few times you have gotten really riled up, Daddy and I just talk about how surprising it is to hear you cry. If you are hungry, you just kind of squeak and fuss a little till you are fed. Nursing is going wonderfully and we can tell you are gaining weight. We love you so much and are just overjoyed that you are now a part of our family. Your brother and sister love you and ask to hold you and Judah likes to pet your hair 
*You are in size 1 diapers
*Your newborn onesies are getting way too tight
*You smiled at mommy and daddy right around your one month birthday. I was unsure if it was a real smile, but today I am sure that it is.
*Everyone comments on how much dark hair you have. It is so soft but it only starts growing about halfway back on your head 
*You went to the tulip parade on May 11th—you were about 2.5 weeks old.
*You have been to Uccellos restaurant when you were 2 weeks old for Auntie Stephanies bachelorette party. You also have been to Margaritas restaurant in Holland—we took Grandma F. there for mother’s day on May 9th.
*You nurse every 3 or so hours during the day and at night you sleep from around 11p to 3a and then from about 3:45a to7a or so. You then will even go back to sleep after you nurse at 7a. You are a great sleeper.
*You are having more periods of awake time.
*You love to be held and cuddled. You love it when mommy rubs your head.
*When you are tired ready to sleep but we haven’t gotten you settled yet, you get a little squeaky and bothered until you get situated and then you go right to sleep.
*You nurse for around 30 minutes every time—sometimes more, sometimes a little less.
*We adore you.
We love you so much little boy!! Love, Mama
