One Month Today!

I cannot believe my little boy is a month old today! He's been such a joy. Over the past month, he has become more and more alert. When he was born, he was pretty alert and holding his head up from the time he was born. He started making baby "cooing" noises when he was 5-6 days old. As of 4 days ago, he was 10 lbs. 15 ounces which means he's gaining about a pound a week so he's probably over 11 pounds now. His first month doctor's appointment is next week. He absolutely loves going outside and loves the mornings! He enjoys laying underneath his Baby Einstein entertainer and "talking" to the musical and colorful things. He also loves to be held but will tolerate being in his swing and bouncy seat. He's also very patient when I put him in his bouncy seat and sew. I think the sound of the sewing machine must be a white noise!
He's consistently sleeping at night anywhere between 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 hours! To make up for that, he eats a lot during the day
Here are a few photos from today.
KK made and gave him the first few outfits. The last outfit (KissyKissy), which is so soft and a favorite, was given to him by Memama and Grandy.
