1 Month Old Everett

*I realize I'm about a month behind, but I've been thinking of this post so I thought I'd go ahead and put it out.  Please excuse my tardiness!  I'm wanting to do it for myself, though, to look back on later and remember him just as he was at 1 month old.*

At one month old my big boy was already smiling as a reaction, what I believe they technically call a social smile.  He would only do it sometimes and would do it when you would make his legs move like he was running.  Sophie loved it too as a baby, but she didn't smile while doing it as early as he did.  That was really the highlight of the month: being able to make my baby boy smile. 

Here's a little of the memories from Everett's first month of life:
  • Spent a week in the NICU. Turned out to have its own blessings.
  • Had his days and nights worked out perfectly, going long stretches at night between feedings. 
  • LOVES his bouncer.  Was almost the only place he wanted to be put down into.
  • Smiles when you make him run, as mentioned above.
  • Slept through the night for the first time the night before his 1 month birthday.  Go Big E!
He really is such a calm baby and the first month flew by!  His stats at 1 month old were 12 lbs 3 oz and measuring 22.5 inches long.  When you start life at 10 pounds, you tend to stay up there in weight!  Love my big, happy baby boy!




Sophie wanted in on some pictures, and I wanted some of her too.  Here's a couple of shots of both of my beautiful kiddos.


I was told the hands look almost the same, so to clarify the bottom one is Everett's and the top one with the arm showing is Sophie's.

He is adorable! And he's not much smaller than my 6 month old! :D

Well, this was also a month ago. He's bigger now and has been wearing 3-6 month or 6 month clothing since he was a month old. It won't be but MAYBE another month before moving up again in size because he's getting too tall. He's just gonna be a big boy! I don't mind. No one will come messing with me or Sophie then. :)
