WRC.one month

a whole month has already passed us by since William entered our world. 

A few tidbits on our littlest man. He has been such a joy for all of us in his first month.

When he is awake he is very alert and watches me intently. He is tracking faces and will calm down if he is able to focus in on a face. I love looking down at those big blue eyes! He loves being held up where he can see over our shoulder. He will stretch that neck out to see what's going on around him.

Everyone comments on the fact that he can sleep through so much noise! He better be able to because it is rarely quiet around here. He is an excellent sleeper and is on a great schedule. In fact, in celebration of his being a month old on Friday he slept from 10 pm - 5 am Thursday night! Now I did not get my hopes up but he did really great the next night too. Typically, I am only up with him once in the night between 2 and 3 am and then again around 6:30 am. Of course I'm usually awake ready for the day by 6:30! He naps well during the day too, getting in some long afternoon stretches like Tuck did. I appreciate that all three boys give me about an hour in the middle of day all to myself :)

He also is an excellent eater! He eats on a 3-3.5 hour schedule and has gained 2.5 lbs since birth! I took him to the doctor on the actual day he was a month old...when does that actually happen?! He weighed in at 11 lb 8 oz and is now 22 inches long. A growing, healthy boy for sure! He is wearing 0-3 and 3 month clothes to cover all his expanding chub that I love!

We are soaking up these sweet sweet baby days with you, Sir William!
