Our lives have changed in so many ways over the past 4 weeks. We may not be getting much sleep, or always have a clean house, or even be able to eat a meal at one sitting... But we wouldn't trade any of that for the world now that we have our little Cole. He has brightened our lives in ways we never knew he could. Even the saddest days, are brightened by our little man. The Lord has blessed us so deeply when He gave Cole to us.
I love hearing his little grunts, groans and cries. We have officially turned in to "those parents" as we will do almost anything to get this sweet baby to smile (and I'm quite certain he enjoys watching us make fools of ourselves in the process). He may not like to sleep in his little bassinet, but that's ok... This mommy loves snuggling with him all night long (however, some sleep in your crib would be nice too, little guy).
Time is quickly passing and he is growing oh so fast. I love watching him grow, but wish he will stay my little snuggle buddy forever.
We love you little Cole, more than you will ever know!
One Month Milestones
Height: 23 inches [95%]
Weight: 11lbs 4oz [90%]
Eye Color: Blue
Clothing: You switched from newborn to 3month clothing at 3 weeks old.
Nicknames: I like to call you "Little Bit," your daddy calls you "Buddy," and your Nana calls you her "Little Monkey."
Sleep: We have had many struggling nights of sleep with you, little one. You like to be held ALL the time. Especially when you sleep. We are just now getting to the point where you will sleep in your crib some nights. We haven't made a pattern of it yet, but it's progress!
You Love: Snuggles, your MamaRoo (this Momma's saving grace!), to play with your Daddy when he gets home from work, to dirty a diaper INMEDIATELY following a diaper change.. every.time. You love to ride in the car (until it stops moving and then all bets are off). You love to look around and see what's going on. You can hold your head up and look all around. You love to watch the ceiling fan turn round and round, and most importantly you LOVE to eat! (And I love to hear your little moans while you eat... Although it makes it hard to inconspicuously feed you). After you're finished eating you put both your arms up and wait for me to lift you and burp you. It's too cute! You love your momma and I love you, my sweet baby.

You Hate: Burpies! Light in your eyes (it makes you so angry!), to be hot, the hiccups (which you get regularly), to be put down before you're in a solid sleep, when your mommy leaves you for a few hours... You let me know about it when I return and then are clingy for at least a day until you know I'm not leaving again. You hate to be covered with a blanket when you're eating... Making it impossible to feed you in public. When you get angry, your face turns bright red and you hold your breath until you can't stand it anymore. You are super strong! I have a hard time holding you when you're throwing a mad fit, you try and jump out of my arms and sometimes you're pretty successful!

Ainslee hated being covered up when I would nurse! It was always a circus in public. lol.
ReplyDeleteSweet boy, you will love having this documented. I just looked over Ainslee's first year the other night and there was so much I had already forgotten!
