| One Month! |
I can hardly believe Andrew is already one month old; where does the time go?
Our days are pretty mellow, while our nights are a little busier. Andrew is content to eat, sleep and snuggle each day away. I wish I could say I am following the "sleep when baby sleeps" rule but honestly, it's hard to nap at the times Andrew sleeps. So, I window shop on the internet, check my email too often to see anything new and watch Law & Order until I doze off for twenty minutes or so. We tried to take advantage of the beautiful weather October graced us with and went for walks around the neighborhood. Andrew is up more frequently at night still, but we've made small progress towards longer sleep windows. I have to admit, I get a little frustrated and impatient when he's crying in the middle of the night. Once I'm out of bed, though, my heart reminds my tired brain that Andrew is relying on me almost exclusively to meet his needs right now.

In so many ways, Andrew reminds me of Nathan when he was a newborn. Most noticeably, is the rate at which Andrew appears to be gaining weight! :) By my very unofficial estimation, Andrew is about ten pounds right now. It's very apparent that he is filling out in his tummy and cheeks. At two weeks, he outgrew the newborn diapers and in the days following, we've transitioned out of newborn clothes, as well. I'm sorry to see him growing up so fast, though it was expected. I know Jeff is ready to have another wrestling buddy!
Nathan still seems to be handling the transition from only child to big brother fairly well. We did run into a conflict when trying to put Andrew in the stroller for a family walk. This stroller, after all, had always previously been Nathan's. Well, Nathan through a fit at the thought of sharing this possession with his little brother and we had to delay our walk for a few days. For the most part, Nathan loves to give kisses to Andrew and help with diaper changes.
