Breckin 1 month

One month has come and gone for the little man. Wowser! He is really coming to life and is having more awake and alert daytime moments. I swear he watches the whirlwind of Teagan in absolute awe. His eyes will get really big as she comes in for a kiss. Overall, I would say Breckin is a relaxed baby. Does he get worked up and show his lung power? Sure. But he has simple needs and is fairly easy to predict. The 1 month Dr appt confirmed he is a growing boy. The Dr called him a gentle giant because he was wide awake and didn't make a peep. After reviewing his measurements, she said "get this boy a basketball!" He weighed in at 10lbs8oz (65%) and 23.25" long (99%). So he gained 2lbs and 2 inches since birth!  He enjoys movement, being held, car rides (gotta keep the car moving!) being outside, eating, tummy time and observing the blonde blur big sis! Very little blonde hair on this guy, still blue eyes and in 3 month clothes due to that length!! We just love having this little buddy around and life with 2 certainly challenges us to be "efficient" parents.  I understand why an extra 2 arms would be nice! Nighttime sleep is still inconsistent but we roll with the punches. He sleeps so soundly right after Teagan goes to bed (8-830) and then eats again closer to 11. It is the hours between 2-5 that seem to be all over the place...eating here and there and then awake or wanting to be held/rocked. Oh-well...we will get there! That is one thing about the second...you remember that each of the challenges are tripled by the rewards and that each challenge is a phase. We know we gotta keep our cool  and what helps us the most is our sense of humor! Life is way more fun when we laugh!
