1 Month Update.

What a month! It's safe to say, I'm exhausted. Between adjusting to newborn baby sleeping patterns, viruses requiring hospital stays (more on that later) & generally being a Mummy of two, this month has flashed before my eyes. I find myself spending any spare moment just staring at this little boy, soaking up every little detail of his already-changing self.

David already seems to be leaving newborn baby territory and becoming more & more aware of the world, with his big beady eyes being drawn to lights & faces. His neck is so strong and just like his big brother, he's a big fan of tummy time. And his size! He's such a little chunk (my "chunky monkey"), gaining nearly 3lbs in just four weeks. He's already outgrown all his newborn clothes and into his 0-3 months outfits - some of which are a little snug fitting.

Sleep is happening but I'm pretty sure that's more to do with the fact we're co-sleeping and I breastfeed him back to sleep whilst half asleep myself. Although he does have two decent stretches of waking during the day, usually first thing in the morning and late afternoon. He's not a huge fan of a dummy but after our hospital stay this week he's become a little more used to it (although I'm yet to decide if we'll continue to encourage it given John's now dependence on his). He loves babywearing and is always chilled out in his bouncy chair.

Well, there's only so much I can say about a 1 month old baby but one thing is for sure, David fits in perfectly with us. And although I'd happily keep him this way forever, I can't wait to continue watching him grow.
