one month old

Grayson is 1 month old!!

Here is a photo from today...



Compare it to when he was a week old...



I can't believe it...I feel like it was just yesterday! He is getting bigger and, if possible, cuter. He had his doctor's appointment on Tuesday and gained 3 lbs, 2oz since his last appointment 3 weeks ago. Most babies gain 1/2 oz - 1 oz/day...he gained more than 2 ounces/day. He went from the 10th percentile to the 75th percentile!! In a nutshell, he is chubby as hell nice and healthy. It is satisfying to know that all the late night feedings and (what seems like) constant nursing has paid off!

He is obviously eating well, getting up twice during the night to eat. For the most part he goes right back to sleep, which is great for me. He has his fussy periods but we're learning how to deal with it. We only use a pacifier when we are desperate. His favorite place to sleep is ON mommy and daddy, but he will also take some nice naps in his new bouncy seat.

Besides having Grammy Church come for 8 days, Grayson's Great-Aunt Doni & Grandma Loreto also came to meet him.

Grayson is able to focus more and more on our faces, and has had a few smiles, a great one caught on video!!
