During your first month, you enjoyed time with all four grandparents and both aunts. You also met lots of your church family. You loved snuggling with all of your new friends! You did not like to have your diaper changed and kicked your legs the whole time! You did not like your sponge bath, either, but you always seemed to feel refreshed afterwards, so it was a good time for mommy to take lots of pictures! Your circumcision healed at two weeks, and your cord fell off at three weeks. You went to church for the first time on the day before your three week birthday, and you did a great job! You slept through most of worship, but you were wide awake and met lots more people at the church potluck. Everyone thought you were adorable! Just before your one month birthday, you moved from newborn to size one diapers and from newborn to 0-3 clothes. You were already growing! You were staying awake more and more and were able to focus your eyes on people and objects more all the time. You loved to look at bright lights! You have a strong neck and you liked to hold your head up, even early on. We got into an eat/wake/sleep rhythm. After a couple of weeks of sleeping in your pack ‘n play in mama and daddy’s room, you started sleeping in your own room. We always swaddled you in your swaddle me blanket and it seemed to help you sleep. You ate about eight times per day. We were getting better and better at nursing. You’re a good eater, and I love spending that special time with you. Your daddy and I love to snuggle with you! We love you so much, sweet Carson, and we’re so very thankful that God blessed us with you. It is a joy to be your parents!
