It seems impossible that Paxton is already a month old. I understand the meaning of the phrase "time flies!"
Some memories of his first month:
At about 3 weeks old he started sleeping in the Pack and Play next to our bed (instead of with us in our bed.) However one of my favorite moments with him his snuggling in our bed face to face!
At Paxton's first doctor's appointment he weighed 6lbs 13 ounces (an ounce over his birth weight). When we returned 2 weeks later he weighed only 6lbs and 6 ounces. It broke my heart! However over the course of a week he gained 11 ounces and at 4 weeks old he weighed 7 lbs 1 ounce! We figured the weight loss was due to his easy going personality, because he was pretty content sleeping 5 consecutive hours at night and we needed to wake and feed him! The days of 5 consecutive hours of sleep at night are over. He wakes to feed every 2-3 hours:). Oh and now that he is eating more, he is a much more content baby! He hardly cries unless he is getting a bath, diaper change or hungry.
He has also become more independent, sitting in his vibrating chair and swing for short amounts of time.
