One Month Old

Our little Micah Caedmon turned 1 month old yesterday, July 18! This month has really gone by quickly! I already catch myself thinking about how in practically no time our little guy will be sitting up, crawling, talking, and soon we'll be celebrating his first birthday... okay, thats still 11 months away, but the months just seem to go by so fast!!

For those of you interested, Micah loves his milk and has gained some good weight. He's up to 13 pounds, and 2.5 ounces. He went through a couple of growth spurts (at around 9-10 days old, and around 3-3 1/2 weeks old) which was witnessed by his wanting to nurse every HOUR! Now he's back to nursing every 2-3 hours, which is much easier on this mama! :) Micah is sleeping okay at night... he goes for about 2-3 hours stretches, and is up for the day around 7-7:30am or so. All of his "wakey" times are so fun! His eyes are so bright and beautiful, though still a little cross-eyed at times. He loves to follow things with his eyes, especially faces. Andrew has lovingly given Micah the nickname: "Tank" for obvious reasons. :) Micah's favorite place to nap is still in someone's arms, lying on their chest, or in the sling, but he seems to like napping on the changing table just fine too! :)

Here are some sweet photos we've captured recently of our lives with our new one-month old. Enjoy!

Micah & Big Brother Samuel... Sammy loves holding his baby brother and asks to do so often. He's also the first one to run to Micah's rescue when he hears his baby brother crying! We're still trying to teach Sammy how to 'gently' give Micah his paci when he wants it... :)

Micah & Samuel both fell asleep this way on the couch! I love taking candid sleeping pictures!

Our first family trip to the beach with baby Micah. He enjoys being in this sling very much!

Here is a photo of Micah's first bath in his tub. What a handsome baby!

And one last shot of our sleeping angel boy :)

Happy 1-month birthday Micah!
