One month!

Cole is one month old today! I can not believe that he is already a month old! He is growing up so fast. We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and here are his stats:

* Head circumference : 36 1/2 - 37 percentile

* Length : 21 3/4 - 81 percentile

* Weight : 9lbs, 14 oz - 32 percentile

Can you believe that he is almost 10 pounds! No wonder why I have been so sore lately. That is a lot to carry around! The doctor's appointment went well. They told me that he needs to come back next month where he will get 3 shots! This will be the first set of shots that I have had to take him to so I am definitely not looking forward to that.

This past month has been so hard. I never realized how hard it is to not only to have a baby but also take care of one. Being a mom is definitely the hardest job in the world. I am very sleep deprived and crave some adult conservation at times but it is all worth it. This past month has been wonderful. Here are a few things that I love about Cole.

1. His facial expressions, he cracks me up! He goes from smiling to frowning in about 2 seconds.

2. His snoring (he gets that from his daddy). You would think it would be annoying but I think it is the sweetest sound in the world.

3. When he falls asleep in my arms.

4. When he wraps his fingers around one of my fingers.

I can't wait to see what he has in store for me next month!
