Max at 1 Month Old

This post is over a week late!  Yikes!  It's much harder to find time to blog these days!

Max at 1 month:

• eats every 1-3 hours during the day.  He's generally a great nurser.  He's getting chunky with all the milk he's drinking!  It's fun to watch him grow because it's already so different than Claire!
• gets up every 1-4 hours at night.  We've had just a couple 4 hour stretches.  He's typically up every 2-3 hours.  It's a struggle to get him back to sleep.  He falls asleep after he eats but once I lay him down, he wakes up just enough to realize he's still swaddled and start fighting it.  I am looking forward to the day that we don't need to swaddle! 
• has a sweet demeanor.  He isn't completely content very often; he prefers to be held and/or have a pacifier.  But he usually won't cry unless he's hungry, tired, has a wet diaper or wants to be held.  I can't even express how wonderful this is!!  Once Claire goes to bed in the evening, Josh and I can relax on the couch with Max (with him either eating, sleeping, or just chilling with is pacifier).  With Claire, we spent the evenings performing the 5 s's over and over. 
• wears newborn clothes still but is quickly outgrowing them!
• dislikes the bath, just like his sister did. 
• has had a handful of bottles and took them beautifully.  Fingers crossed that this continues!

There's not a lot to write about at one month old. :)  Overall, Max is a terrific baby and we're so blessed to have him in our family!
