One month

The Luke-ster is one month old today.



Here are some photos taken over the last few weeks and some facts about Luke:

*He still sleeps non-stop. While he's eating, I'm constantly having to tickle his feet, rub his chin, take off his clothes, etc. to keep him awake.

*No, that does not mean that he sleeps all night. Although he usually does sleep five-hour chunks of time - eating at 10 pm, 3 am and 6 am.

*At his two-week doctor appointment:
7 lbs, 13 oz <--18% percentile
22 inches <--88% percentile
Tall and skinny like his dad I guess.



*He put himself on a three-hour eating schedule at 5 days old. Awesome.

*But if he's being held, the three-hour schedule goes out the window. He loves to be held.



*He can roll over (see post below for pics).

*He's always really happy after he gets his diaper changed. During the diaper change, not so much.



*He's starting to like the bath. Although we've only sink-bathed him so far.

*He's always been a big smiler in his sleep. We've gotten a couple of awake-smiles, but I still don't think its a reaction or mimic. Hopefully soon because we love his smiles.



*The Baby Bjorn = his favorite invention ever. He loves being in that thing.

*He also loves his car seat. Yet hates the process of being buckled in.



*Blinds are his favorite thing to look at. He loves being put by the window and just stares.

*We're still trying to determine, but it looks like his eyes will be blue.



*He definitely has a receding hairline. Hopefully not a forecast for his older years.

*Every time Claire puts in his binky, he loves it. When I do, he spits it out. Still not sure how he knows.



*Luke is the king of yawning. When he's awake, he yawns every couple of minutes.

*He loves to sleep with his hands above his head.



He is such a good baby and we are completely in love.

How on earth did a whole month go by already? He is as sweet as sweet can be. I love the B/W picture of him with his chin resting on his folded arms.
