1 month!

My sweet baby boy is one month old. It's really interesting and won't make sense to most people, but this is something that relates to my mission. Lots of missionaries who experienced 2 months in the MTC in Provo will understand and relate to this. When I was on my mission, the days felt like weeks and the weeks felt like days. The best way I know how to describe this is that the days are so long because of the hard concentration on learning the language and how to teach the gospel. But then all of a sudden you look at how long you've been out and it feels like time went so fast. That's how I feel being a mom.
The first week with my little bear was hard. Breastfeeding, postpartum weepies, lack of sleep, and not knowing how to do anything. I learned so much in that week.
The second week was still hard. But a little easier than the first. That's how it's been going since the second week. Each week is a little easier than the previous one, but still a little stressful. Luckily now we have a semblance of some kind of schedule.

This month's milestones:

-Learned to lift his head even more, with more control.
-Rolled over at 2 weeks old!
-We started using cloth diapers full time.
-He started noticing and playing with his toys. His favorite toy is this little giraffe (or maybe it's a cow?) that clips to his playmat.
-He makes happy cooing sounds when he plays with his toys or has tummy time.
-First walk in the stroller
-First superbowl! :)
-As of his 3 week appointment, he's 9 pounds 10 ounces. He's also one inch longer than when he was born.
-When you look at his hair in the sunlight, it looks like it's turning a coppery red. Looks like little bear might have gotten his mama's red hair!
-Umbilical cord fell off, and his little belly button looks like a swirl and I think it's an outie, which is interesting because I don't know of anyone on my side or Corry's side with an outie belly button.

Here are some pictures! :)

Here he is at about 3-4 days old. I love him so much. This picture is one of my favorites from the first few days. We took a ton of pictures those first few days.

Here's his one month picture. Each month, I am going to put him in a white onesie and take a picture of him next to his bear (since I call him little bear.) I can't wait to see him grow more! :)
