Today marks 1 month with our little Finn. We can’t believe that 4 weeks have already gone by. All parents bemoan how quickly time passes, and now I understand.
Already, we can see so many differences in our growing boy. I look back at photos of him as a newborn, right after we brought him home, and he looks so small–so fragile–compared to the strong, growing baby we have now!
Our 1-month old is a curious, silly kid. He’s SO strong; he can push himself up on his feet, and scoot himself all over the bassinet. He’s already rolled over 3 times, though no one believes us (I swear!). He eats like a champ, though he takes his time during each breastfeeding session. And, for the most part, he’s a great sleeper–especially during the day. 🙂
He’s just started taking interest in the cats, and he seems to have formed a kinship with Xander. He is as calm as can be when getting his diaper changed, loves his Indian baby massages, and always smells like coconut oil.
He still has some baby acne, has a tiny scar on his head from the fetal monitor, and is starting to get a bit of a potbelly. He’s been to 11 restaurant meals, 2 farmers markets, and one Target run. He grunts constantly, and he hiccups A LOT (just like when he was in the womb).
He has the most hilariously serious look on his face when he’s studying you, and he pouts his lips in his sleep, which melts his mommas’ hearts. For the most part, he still sleeps in 3-4 hour bouts. And, even though we know we should get him in the crib soon, we love having him sleep in his Rock ‘n Play right next to our bed.
Happy one month birthday, little Finn. We love you SO much, and we can’t wait to see what each month brings!
