Sleep, Food & Poop

We have made it through the first month marathon..woo hooo!!! So this first month has been interesting. I would like to say it has been fun but really, it has been exhausting.  Thankfully, it has gotten easier.  We are all sleeping a bit longer and have developed a routine for each day.  So, here are a few fun things that we have experienced our first month together...

-Zach is really strong.  He lifts his head up whenever he gets the chance; he loves to look around.  He has gotten better at putting his head back down. At first, his head tended to slam back down without control (Yikes!) but now he has control of that too.

-He loves ceiling fans!  He will twist and turn any which way until he can get a good long stair at any ceiling fan.

-We have come to think his best friends are the couch and wall clock.  If given the chance he will sit and talk to them for at least 20 minutes (which I think is an achievement for a baby).

-He eats constantly. If given the chance he would eat every hour! Mommy is quite exhausted and doesn't get a chance to do much throughout the day.  He also won't sleep unless he is touching one of us, which is terribly cute but wears down the back.

-oh and the giggles.  I love the giggles.  He has been talking and smiling from the beginning.

-Zach has the funniest facial expressions. His eyebrows and lips can do things I never thought my kid would do. I think his favorite expression is his serious face which tends to come out the most when Gramma is around.  Jesses favorite is the monkey face.

-Something Jesse got to experience first was the unexpected pee attacks (at least it wasn't poop).  This kid is skilled.  He can pee on any unsuspecting victim (Jesse, Brittney, the bed, the couch) with a diaper on and somehow the diaper won’t be wet.

The first month took some getting used to but I think we are more prepared for the second, Zach may even be out of newborn diapers...that would be great! Here are just a few of our favorite pictures from the last few weeks...
