One Month

Ethan is one month old today. Time is just flying by and it makes me a little sad that's for sure.

Ethan is the most wonderful baby. He just loves Cade and SOOO loved my mum. The attention given by both of them toward him is definitely appreciated by Mr Ethan.

I am meant to take him for his monthly weigh in tomorrow so I will post back the details of that but I am thinking he is pretty close to 10lbs as he is a chunker. He has chubbed up around the thighs and particularly in the face.

Ethan has been smiling, real smiles too. He seems ticklish on the sides of his belly and loves to freely kick about. He is a noisy little one. That first week he was almost silent and I would have to check on him as he was SO quiet... not anymore! He grunts and wheezes in his sleep and talks and jabbers away when kicking about.

Both of my boys as newborns, look at you with what I call 'wise eyes' like they have known you forever and have something to tell you while they study you and I so love this about them both. Cade was far more expressive in his facial expressions and would scowl or furrow his brow like a bright light was on and even in his sleep, Ethan is far more relaxed it seems. He sleeps really well, still feeding about every 3-4 hours but doesn't fuss about with it so that is nice. He isn't really losing the darkness in his hair or much hair at all for that matter. I love that he is dark, definitely a genetic throwback with that but we gladly take it!! I love the feel of his hair when I brush my cheek against it and the smell... oh how I LOVE that baby smell.

Boys I swear grow so much faster (probably because that is all I have had)! Ethan is so strong in his head and neck and looks about. I love that!

He still very rarely cries except when naked or hungry. I hope this happy little boy always is so lovely and happy, I will for sure be trying my hardest to keep it that way!!
