Nicholas is 1 Month Old!

Holy crap - can't believe it's been a month already. (thanks for the sign Maggie and thanks for the outfit Uncle Aaron and Auntie Morgan!!)



Likes:
Sleeping on Mom's chest. There is really nowhere else he wants to be, ever. He loves Nick, but because he's with me all day I think he is very attached already.

Eating. This kid eats like a champ. His gums are like an iron grip on the bottle. When you pause to try and burp him if he doesn't have to burp, he screams bloody murder at you.

Tummy Time - he's kind of getting the hang of this one. He loves the activity mat that my dad's friends gave us, but obviously doesn't do much other then "flop" around on it a bit.

Dislikes (sadly this list is much longer, but I'm hoping that changes by next month).

Sleeping anywhere but on someone. He's had a few good nights here and there, but definitely prefers to be on someone instead of in his crib, bassinet, or napper station of the pack n play.

Outfit changes/diaper changes. Screams the entire time...his morning diaper change for some reason has been pleasant, he wiggles around and almost "coos" now (or he's trying to anyway)

Bath time - he's only had a few baths so far (once a week) but he's not enjoying it very much right now

Having his nose cleaned/suctioned and his face cleaned when he spits up/dribbles formula - I don't think any baby/child likes this.

His doctor's appointment is on Monday April 16th so I will post weight/length updates when I have them.

My co-workers Pat and Gail were kind enough to come visit me on Tuesday and we had a great time. They brought over food from the Athenian and we had a few drinks - it was so nice and relaxing to have some grown up time. Nick took care of the babe while we hung out for a few hours. My friend Maggie came over yesterday and it was so great to see her, it had been far too long!


My mom and brother are visiting for a few days and it's great to have their help.





This weekend we have a party to go to and Sunday is Greek Easter. I haven't gotten any family photos yet so I'm hoping to get one of those then as well.

Have you read the Happiest Baby on the Block? The 5 S's worked wonders on Colin at that age.
