Today Noah is one month old - I can't believe it. In some ways this past month has really flown by...it kind of seems like it's just been one reaaaaaalllllllyyyy long day.
Noah is quickly outgrowing lots of his clothes and was 9 pounds 5 ounces at his last weight check. He had dropped about half a pound in the days right after birth but quickly regained it - he gained a whole pound in a week and is quite the impressive eater. The pediatrician couldn't believe it!
His grandparents are here for a visit and he's enjoyed hanging out with them. I've enjoyed getting to take a nap here and there!
Noah is starting to become more social and loves to smile and "talk".
Here he is talking to Sophie the Giraffe.
He loves looking around and we've discovered that while he's not a huge fan of sitting in his swing, he likes to be near it and watch it rock back and forth and listen to the music it plays.He's had a rough couple of weeks because of reflux and gas issues. I'm eliminating some things from my diet so hopefully we'll see some improvement soon. He's not great at sleeping on his own and usually only sleeps about 2 hours at a time at night (help!) ... and much less during the day. He prefers to be held while sleeping - he's not a fan of his bed. Can you blame him? Today he was a happier baby and had quite a few play times so maybe he's turning a corner and will start to feel better soon.
He has so many funny expressions - he often looks very serious and skeptical of life. Sameer and I both wore the "furrowed brow" as little ones so this is no surprise.
He loves being held and talked to and he absolutely HATES getting his diaper changed and taking a bath. When he's not worrying, sleeping, crying or eating, he enjoys making the "oooo" shape with his mouth for long periods of time and smiling here and there too.
I have to admit that as tiring as this month has been, I'm sad that it's already over...my baby is now officially an "infant" and no longer a "newborn". These have been precious days. We love our boy!

Glad your folks are in town, catch some zzzzs. <3
I love it, he's such a cutie!
Great update. He is gorgeous!
aww what a cutie
Oh Whitney, man it flew by!!! Already over a month now and he looks SO much like his Dad. I LOVE that huge smile!!! I hope he gets less fussy and gassy and more comfy. His sleep patterns sound a lot like May when she was new... except for the might sleeping part. she had an easier time with that. I am sure he will grow into figuring it out. We love you and miss you and wish we could hug Noah. Please give hugs to him from all three of us. :)
