1 Month Old

I can't believe my baby boy is 1 month old already! It doesn't seem possible. He's growing like a weed (mostly because he loves to eat!). :)

I'm enjoying my time at home with Ford, especially now that we've settled into a routine. Although I do miss adult interaction and am getting tired of watching movies all the time (never thought I'd say that!), I wouldn't trade this time with him for anything. He's beginning to pay more attention to his surroundings and staying awake a little bit longer during the day, so that's been really fun. He has also started smiling and cooing, which just puts the biggest smile on my face. I can't get enough!

Ford's Likes at 1 Month Old:

• His swing. He's always happy in his swing, and it usually lulls him to sleep.
• Snuggling with people. His favorite position is lying on his belly on someone's chest.
• Meals. He stops crying as soon as we get that bib under his chin and will often start making sucking sounds before the bottle even touches his lips.

Ford's Dislikes at 1 Month Old:

• Being naked. No surprise there, I guess, but it makes diaper changes, baths, and changing clothes a little less pleasant.
• Waking up. He takes after his momma and has a hard time waking up. He's usually fussy until he's good and awake.
• Bed time. He has no trouble going to sleep.....until it's time to go to bed for the night. He can be sound asleep and as soon as I lay him down in his bed, he's awake again. Ugh. It takes 30 minutes to an hour for him to go to sleep in his bed at night.

New Discoveries:

• Finding his voice. See the cute videos in my "Baby Talk" post.
