Evan’s First Month

August11

How can a month go by so fast!?  He is growing, growing, growing.  And so strong. He has held his head up while on his tummy since birth but he now lifts it a little bit while laying on his back which is is hopefully learning to enjoy more.  Evan still cluster feeds at night and usually falls asleep around midnight or so, but he now sleeps (hope I don't jinx myself) for 4 hours!  During the day he is awake more frequently and doesn't seem to eat as much.  He is such a cuddle bug and his toothless grin makes you melt.  Yet to catch it on film yet, but it is very cute.

So far Evan is still sleeping in the bassinet as when we tried to put him in the crib in the kids' room his crying would wake up Lauren and she would get so upset worried about the baby.  She seems more used to it now, so when we are feeling adventurous we might try it again.  Of course that involved taking all the "stuff" that has migrated into the crib out and finding a home for it.  A lot of it is clothes so it isn't too big of a deal.

Evan has some clothes he wears that are 3 – 6 months already, some of the 0 – 3 months still fit, but most of the stuff that says NB does not.  It is too bad because some of those are super cute and there is no way he will wear them all.  I don't think Lauren did either, but I am pretty sure she wore more of them than Evan will.

Lauren loves her little brother, it is so sweet to see them together, she loves to hold him and give him kisses.  I am sure as he starts to get older and more interactive it is going to be fun, but trying, Lauren isn't exactly big on sharing all the time.  It is reassuring that we all seem to be settling into a routine, and that Lauren is at the age that she wants to help and loves, for the most part, being given little jobs.  It is also a way to see how much she is picking up and learning.  Lauren is a little sponge!

These coming months are going to be a lot of fun full of adventures, learning and joy!
