1 Month

Carson hit the 1 month mark on December 10th.  He is the sweetest little blessing in the world! 

 

During the last month Carson:

-Grew and grew and grew! At 2 weeks, he was 10 pounds, 14 ounces and 23 inches long.

-Gave us his first awake smile a few days after his 1 month birthday.  We are seeing more and more of this amazing smile!  We can't wait to capture it on camera.

-Saw the chiropractor because he just didn't seem comfortable at all...poor guy.  It appears to have helped, but it's still early.

-Continues to amaze us with his strength.  He whips his head around from side to side and pulls himself up to see what's going on.  If he doesn't want you to lift his legs, he uses his brute strength to force them where he wants them.  This is the same with his arms, so changing clothes and changing his diaper can be a challenge at times. 

-Grunts and grunts all day!  He is quite the grunter and nuzzler.  We hear a few coos and ahhs now and then, but his main form of communication is the grunt.  ha!

-Still has uncontrollable hair!  I can't seem to tame that head of hair.  He hasn't lost much, but he now has a receding hair line since his head is growing.  His hair still naturally forms a mohawk.  I hope I learn how to manage his long locks before long.

-Loves his bath.  He doesn't love every moment of his bath, but for the most part he is super relaxed and chill in the tub.  This is nice, since most of the time he is on the go (well as much as a 1 month old can be).   

 

Here's our big 1 month old!  Look at those adorable chunky thighs! 

We love you Carson!
