One month!

Julian is one month old!

Then


Now


How time flies when you're not sleeping... but in a small miracle, he seems to have decided that he's a big boy now, and no longer needs to eat every two hours all night! Over the past several nights he's slept in stretches of up to four and a half hours, which is fantastic. He needs some help getting to sleep in the first place, and he tends to wake up at 7 and be annoyed that we just want to lie in a dark room and not interact with him, but it's still a great improvement.

He now weighs a healthy 10 pounds and is starting to grow out of his smaller outfits. He's much more alert, staring at faces and looking around at his environment, and he likes going for walks in the stroller. He also seems to have a sixth sense for exactly when his mother is about to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and starts wailing accordingly. Fortunately he doesn't seem to mind too much if I drop crumbs on his head.

Oh, he's perfect!
Good luck with the sleeping. I remember that agony all too well.

Very cute! Of course he wants to eat when you're ready for a meal - they can smell the food!

Hmmm, looks like we have something in common! I throw a dishtowel over Spike if I'm eating something hot.

He is adorable! I can't wait to meet him. I heard I missed you at Saxy last Saturday. Audrey and I hope to run into the 2 of you soon.

I love the picture of Julian looking up at the iris - it's so wonderful! If you ever need a walking buddy, you should call me!
