One Month Old

Wow, I can't believe Will has been a part of our lives for a whole month already. Time is going so quickly. He is getting so big - I'm shocked at how different he looks now! I think I forgot how quickly babies change, it is incredible. Will had a bit of a rash at three weeks so I had to take him to the doctor. He weighed in at 8 lb 7 oz! I was shocked, that is almost two pounds more than his birth weight. We head to the doctor for his one month check up on Monday, so I'm excited to see how much he weighs now.

Will is smiling a few times a day now. I swear God purpusly give babies the ability to smile just when their sleep deprived mommies don't think they can do any more. I can be utterly exhausted and just able to function and all it takes is a smile from Will and I feel like I can do anything.

I remember when we first had to send Max to daycare. He refused the bottle for days! It was so stressful - he was only eating an ounce or two the entire day! In order to not face this same problem we are going to try to give Will bottles on a fairly regular basis. Daddy gave Will his first bottle just the other night. It was too cute to watch. Now we just need to stick to the plan of giving a bottle - I swear nursing is just so much easier!

I also have to put in this pictures of Max on his new bike - Daddy is so proud, he found it at a garage sale for $5. Nonna took Max to Children's Hospital to get a helmet so Max is all ready for the road! He doesn't quite have the hang of it yet. He keeps wanting to pedal backwards, which is actually the brake so that doesn't work out too well. He will get the hang of it, and in the meantime he looks pretty darn cute practicing!
