Happy 1 Month Birthday!

Happy 1 Month Birthday to Dean! He is now 8lbs 13oz and 21 1/2 inches. He has been making up for the first 2 weeks of weight loss. He eats an average of 4-5 ounces per feeding, which is 6-7 times per day...yes he likes his food. He started taking the bottle on Thursday and it is getting easier for him. Brent is now able to help with feedings, which makes my life a lot easier. He is sleeping more at night, which allows us to sleep more at night, making for a pleasant morning. Last night he was only awake for an hour compared to the 3 he used to be between feedings. We are now going to start working on him not sleeping on my chest. We'll have to see how that goes. He does not like to sleep on his back so putting him in his crib when he is half awake is a challenge. Brent and I are doing good, getting a little more sleep every night and enjoying our little man every minute we are with him.

Those are cute photos! I LOVE the one of him in his car seat. He looks like he is 4 months! Adorable! Glad to hear you are getting more sleep. Sofia didnt sleep for MONTHS, so you are doing good! She refused to sleep in a crib until about 5 or 6 months. She was in our bed the whole time and I miss every minute still!
