Showing you his muscles!

I can't believe our sweet little Abram is one month old today. He is such a good little guy. The nursing is going great. This man is quite the eater!!! I am feeding him every two hours during the day and between 6-8 he would eat every 30 minutes if I let him. I am trying to pump out my excess in the morning for his "hungry" time, but if I find that I can't keep up we might have to start supplementing him with formula before bed. Another thing I will mention is his ability to poop (a lot). I don't think I knew that babies could poop as much as this little guy does. It is virtually impossible to keep him in a clean diaper. He has such a calm and sweet demeanor. He loves to snuggle, and for the most part really seems to just go with the flow.




Sleep - Abram is such a good little sleeper (Praise God)! I am waking up twice through the night and he typically does a great job eating and getting snuggled up to go back to sleep pretty quickly. He is sleeping in the "pink bassinet thing". My friend Kim gave me this to use and he wasn't real fond of it at the beginning, but he is liking it now. Two nights ago he went all night without being in the swing. I decided I needed to nip that in the bud early on so he didn't get used to swinging all night. I am hoping like Kim's baby; that he transitions pretty easily from the bassinet thing to the crib in the next month or so. He is still so congested through the night that I want to keep him propped up until this goes away. I thought he got a bit of a viral thing two weeks ago, but he is still snotty and his eyes are a bit watery, so I am thinking this little man might have a bit of allergies. The farmers are all cutting the corn right now and I am pretty itchy as well. We'll see how he is doing in the next month or so.

Milestone - He is doing a great job following toys and voices. He is lifting is head for a short period of time when on his tummy. He is just starting to make some different noises other then crying. I think the cooing will be starting very soon.

Firsts - Trip to the zoo, cold, trip to the pumpkin patch

He's giving a little wave from the zoo.
