today xavier is 1 month old! it doesnt seem that long ago that i was in the hospital with him! time is flying by fast and it sort of scares me that its going to go by too fast! next thing i know he is going to be asking to borrow the car. eek!
things have been pretty easy since we have had him. he is a good sleeper and for the last week to 2 weeks he has been more awake throughout the day and is more alert. sometimes he is awake after he eats in the middle of the night and that kind of frustrates me, but he isnt crying or anything, just looking around, being cute - so its not so bad. he eats about every 3 hours or so, so i try and stay up for his last feeding before i go to bed. then i only have to wake up once in the middle of the night and then in the early morning. he sleeps with us in our bed in a little cushion that our friends bought us. he really likes it, but sometimes after putting him in it for bedtime he wakes up so he ends up sleeping in our arms, which i dont mind at all.
today his belly button nub fell off, finally! it took so long to finally heal and fall off and we dont know why. i think the first part fell off too early and then while it was trying to heal it kept getting irritated. im glad its off! now he can get real baths!
xavier is a very smiley baby. its probably just gas, but its so cute nonetheless. he smiles a lot and sometimes when he is sleeping it sounds like he is laughing and he has a smile on his face. he makes cute noises when he is happy and when he wants to eat, i love it! it makes me smile every time!
some of xavier's newborn clothes are getting a little snug on him and he is already in size 1 diapers! we have a sleeper that was too big for him when he was born, fit him maybe 2 times, and is now too small for him.
he loves to snuggle with jeremy. sometimes when i cant get him to sleep or stop crying i can pretty much always give him to jeremy and he will fall right asleep. i love watching them two together. they are adorable.
xavier likes to be in his swing. he makes cute noises when he swings!
we have discovered that xavier likes cobblestone streets. if he wakes up or is being a little fussy in the car while we are on base or near cobblestone streets, we go on them and he calms down right away. he also is really good in a stroller.
our first month with him has been great and we love every moment of it! i cant wait for the days, months, and years to come!
Time definitely does fly by! It's so weird to look back at the first pictures of Maizie. She looks so different, but it feels kind of like it just happened.
ReplyDeleteThat's weird that it took that long for Xavier's belly button nub to fall off! I bet it was nice to start giving him real baths.
It's amazing how quickly some babies grow. Maizie is growing pretty quickly too. Does Xavier have any outfits that he never got to wear because he got too big too quickly?
I think dads have a magic touch to get babies to sleep, because I can usually get Maizie to sleep really quickly.
Xavier's facial expressions are great!
