Simon is one month old!

Happy one month birthday Simon! It has been very hard to get this blog post up now that all the grandmas have left and Brad is back to work. I find typing with one hand VERY tedious! Simon is a very content little baby. He isn't fussy in the evenings and is happy if he is being cuddled. We are loving his laid back attitude towards life.

What Simon is doing:
-sleeping
-eating
-pooping
-awake for an hour or so each sleep, eat, wake cycle
-generally being cute

Eats: He is a great nurser and nurses every two-three hours, stretching to 4-5 in the night.

Sleeps:
Night: Simon is no longer confused between day and night (although he still wakes to eat at night 2-3 times depending on the night). He has been giving me a 4-5 hour stretch at night but sadly the last few days his night time sleep has started around 7:30pm. He likes to be swaddled with one arm out just like his sister. In the middle of the night he is a very quick nurser but then is usually up again in 2 hours after the initial 4 hour stretch. Usually I am able to fall back asleep quickly so that is helpful.

Naps: He sleeps off and an a lot of the day, especially if he is being held. He loves the Ergo and loves to nap in it! I just swaddled him for a nap and he is sleeping like a champ in his bed...why did it take me so long to figure that out.

Weighs: 9lbs 9 oz

Likes: being held, cuddled, nursing :-)

Dislikes: being alone (especially when Joy and I shower in the morning!), when he has big burps to get out

Favorite event: Meeting both his grandmas this past month! Yay for grandmas that traveled half way around the world to help out a tired mommy, chase after a crazy toddler and cuddle a sweet baby.
