Luke - 1 month

Luke at 1 month old!
(instead of rewriting all this in his baby book too I'm going to end up printing these monthly updates, so this is more for journaling purposes)
-hungry all the time!  loves to nurse and is good at it!  until about three weeks old he would nurse every 3-4 hours and i could count on it. (it made things so easy with a toddler too)  but then he hit a crazy growth spurt and wanted to nurse all the time and ever since then he nurses about every 2-2.5 (or sooner sometimes!) hours during the day, with an occasional 3 if i'm lucky.  during the night he'll go one 4 hour and then the rest after still 2-3 hours.
-weighs about 9.5 pounds.
-really only cries when he is hungry or tired.  or has a big burp or poop coming.
-likes to be swaddled to sleep, will sometimes take a paci.
-starting to smile more often.
-loves his swing! used to be able to fall asleep in it perfectly but not as often anymore.  he needs a little more help to get to sleep.
-becoming a little more needy since he's growing out of the newborn stage.  his naps are no where near as long and will wake up before he's really ready to, like after 30-40 minutes, so things are getting a little harder to juggle two.
-not as vocal as i remember Quinn was by now.  i've heard some little coos but they aren't very often.
-not a fan of his carseat and won't stay asleep in it for very long if we've gotten out of the car :( 
-but does love being in the moby wrap! 







big sister needed in on the fun too :)

(birth story coming as soon as i finish it!)
