Little Details

 This morning while doing our baby exercises we played pat-ta piggies to work out his legs then moved to head, shoulders, knees, & toe to work out his arms, and I was suddenly taken back by how perfect all the little details of my sweet boy are!  

I just had to capture them to remember forever :)

This is the face of a little man who is doing his baby exercises :) 

He loves them!

He doesn't have hair he has...fuzz :)

It isn't a defined color yet either. 

He really could end up a blonde or red

 though we think he will be a brunette

It will be fun to see what happens as he grows!

He was born with black eyes that slowly turned grey

Then one day he woke up with these stunning baby blues! 

In some light they are navy,

 but in the sunshine they are so bright :)

He has an outline where his eyebrows are supposed to be, but there isn't much there :)

 His nose is a perfect button, and he has these sweet

 dimples to each side that make his smiles incredible! 

His tiny little ears come out just slightly

 on each side like a baby elf ;)

 When you tickle him he sticks out his tongue :)

And look at the start to his baby fat rolls!!!

His gentle little hands have the strongest grip

 when he get something he wants in them

 look at his perfect little button!!!

And here are his cute piggy cakes :) 

Thing 3 is 1 month old!

I am continually in awe of how fast time passes. 

Tomorrow our little man will be 1 month old! 

Height/Weight: Our Happy baby Boy is growing to fast :( 

At his 1 month pediatric appointment this week he was weighing in at 9lbs 8 oz, and is 24 inches long. 

Routine: We started "baby steps" on making a schedule this week. Seeing I am home with James during the day, but still enjoy sleep we started with the evenings. Between 5-6pm I cuddle up and feed him, so he is awake and happy while we have dinner and go about our evening. Then when he starts nodding off (usually about 7-8pm) we give him a bath (we are still only sponge bathing), change him, and play with him. This gives us another 30 mins to an hour of awake time. Then I feed him again and put him to bed. 

The rest of the day I let him eat and sleep on demand which is working great :)

Sleeping: James loves his sleep! He sleeps from his last feeding for about 5-6 hours. Then again till I wake him up to feed him in the morning. During the day his favorite place to sleep is on mommy or daddy's chest which we are all to happy to allow most of the time. Otherwise he loves his Rock'n'play Sleepers that his uncle Bobby and Aunt Stevie gave him. To transition him from sleeping with me to the sleeper in our room I just started putting the shirt I wore each day next to him and he passes out! 

Eating/Feeding: Other than the long stretch at night he eats about every 2-3 hours for about 30 mins. He is so great about eating! He will nurse with or without a shield, with or without a cover, and will take a bottle no problem! I am still the only one who feeds him, and I don't see being willing to give that up for awhile. 

Sizes: Like I said he is growing! He is in 0-3 month clothes now, but still in NB diapers. 

Milestones: He is developing so many habits and cute little personality traits already! 

Like when he nurses... If he is wide awake he will stare at me and have his hand wide open on me, but when he is falling asleep / almost done he grabs his ear :)

He is learning to hold his head up and likes looking around, so unless he is nursing he doesn't like to be held like he would be eating. He likes to have his head up :)

He has also developed the best "grumpy face" for when he doesn't want to be awake, but is doing it for mommy anyways ;)

Better than his grumpy face is his "Tickle face"!

Here is a picture of all 3 of my beautiful babies

I am one blessed Mama!
