Ames One Month



I can't believe my little buddy is already one month old! 

Here are a few things about Ames at one month:
  • He is seriously the best baby.  He's a great eater, an okay sleeper, but he is just so content all of the time.  He really only cries when he is hungry or tired.  
  • Owen is still obsessed with him and loves touching his face, ears, eyes… everything.  Whenever I have Ames on the floor or the bed, Owen has to be laying right next to him. Like literally RIGHT next to him and touching every inch of his body.  Needless to say, he doesn't get set down a whole lot when Owen is awake!
  • He is probably the loudest baby of all time.  He is seriously a little grunty mcgrunterson.  I finally had to move him out of our room because he would start grunting about an hour before he would wake up…so I would basically just be awake waiting for him to wake up.  He also makes this sound when he grunts that sounds like a baby goat.  It's hilarious.  
  • He finally started smiling a few days ago and I about melted into a puddle on the floor. I think the first smiles are one of the best parts of motherhood.
  • He LOVES being swaddled and held close.  My sister in law Megan gave me a soly baby wrap and the second he gets put into that, he falls right to sleep and sleeps for HOURS.
  • Along with being loud when he wakes up, he is also so GASSY! He gives little (or not so little) toots for about the first 10 minutes of him waking up.  Just like his dad!
  • He has definitely started losing his hair on the top of his head (just like Owen).  I thought he would get lucky and keep it, but nope, it started falling out at about 3 weeks.  
  • He is his brother's clone! I sometimes think he has a look of his own, but then other times I feel like I didn't even get a new baby… just went back in time.
  • He is starting to fill out a lot.  I could kiss those chubby little cheeks until the end of time and still feel like I didn't kiss them enough.

Sweetest little face

Probably the greatest photo of all time. I just can't.

I spy a photobomber.

Ok fine, you can crash our photo shoot!
