One month old!

Wow, I really, really can't believe it's already been a month since Ethan came into our family! What a whirlwind it's been! I have never been quite so tired in all my life, but at the same time, so happy! Sometimes I just have to pinch myself because I still can't believe I am the mommy of 2 boys! Nothing makes me happier than sitting in my rocking chair with a sweet boy in each arm :) Ayden loves Ethan so much and is always saying things like "he's perfect" or "I love Ethan, he's so cute!" Ayden is also always asking when Ethan is going to get "bigger" like him so they can play together. Just in the last few days, Ethan has started staying awake for longer periods and focusing on our faces. This morning Ayden walked into the living room and Ethan's head turned and he just stared at Ayden, it was so sweet! He is still such a calm and sweet baby and spends the majority of his day on the boob. He loves to nurse! I can usually put him in his swing for an hour or so a couple times a day to get stuff done around the house, but other than that, he is attached to mommy! He sleeps 2-4 hours at a time at night (last night he slept 5!) and sleeps in the bed in the crook of my arm...something I did not plan on doing again, but I MUST have my sleep, and that's the only way to get it at this point! In the next couple of weeks, the plan is to try getting him to sleep in the cosleeper and get him used to it so when I go back to work he won't keep Chris up all night! We will see how that goes! We haven't taken him out yet except to doctor's appointments, short car rides, and a trip to Mena, but we have several outings planned this month so he will get to see lots of new things! (Or sleep in the Moby wrap while Ayden does some fun things :) He seems to be growing well, but he goes to the doctor next Tuesday for a weight check just for my own peace of mind :) I will update with his new weight then!
