Hunter [1 month]...

Our Hunter has turned one month old and this past month with him has been amazing! 
I've been wanting to blog about my little man for awhile now but just haven't found the time.  
(I've been too busy loving on his sweet little cheeks!)
Hunter has already changed so much since he was born. 

  • He out grew newborn diapers in the first week and now fits into his 0-3 month clothes
  • He still has all of his hair, but it has lightened up these past few weeks
  • His little legs have begun to fatten up right along with his cheeks
  • Hunters eyes have started to change to a lighter blue and there is nothing I love more than staring at them all day long
  • He has two adorable dimples that he has most recently learned to show them off with his sweet little smile (I melt)
  • He HAS to have at least one arm free from his burrito at night. Otherwise he will fuss and squirm to get one free
  • He is not a fan of the bottle or a paci... It is a current work in progress, but he is just a bigger fan of the "real thing". Nursing has been quite easy from day one. He will root or try to eat us when we kiss his cheeks to let us know he is hungry
  • Currently he is a Mommas boy and I am completely ok with that. He does find comfort in his Daddy, but I am in love with the fact that I can truly calm him with my embrace
  • His favorite place to sleep is on our chests. He can sleep for hours if we let him
  • The number one question EVERYONE asks is if we are getting any sleep. (Makes me wonder if I look dead when ever we are out in public.) But yes, we are. He sleeps up to four hours at night and I love it. During the day his naps only last about 30 min (unless he is on our chests) occasionally longer which is always a good thing
  • This past week he has really become more observant. It is the sweetest thing when he turns and stares at either me or B. He also LOVES to stare out the window. If I lay him by the sliding glass doors he seems to find such contentment in simply looking out into the light
  • He rather enjoys his carseat (as long as its moving) The rocking of us carrying it lulls him to sleep quite rapidly. Then, once he wakes up and cant stretch is when we have a problem
Over all this little guy is truly wonderful! 
He is easy when running errands, loves to snuggle, and thoroughly enjoys bath time.
I think he is such a good sweet babe, and those who have met him would probably agree.
We truly cannot imagine our lives with out him.
