.A Month Already,

Wow!! My lil' man will be one month old on Monday! Time surely does fly. The day we brought him home, I went to go change his diaper. I mean, I would have thought he was done pooping but while changing my FIRST diaper he projectile pooped across the room and spraying a little on my face as it went zooming by. It was so gross. Two days later, Quinn was changing him and he pee'd across the room but lucky for Quinn he was able to dodge the stream. It's so funny when someone is holding him for the first time and he begins to make his poopy faces and they comment about him going to the bathroom and I always have to tell them, when and if he is going to go to the bathroom you will not only feel it but you will hear it! Yes, that's right my baby is a loud, very loud pooper and farter. It is amazing that something that loud can come out of something so small.

When we went for his two week check up, his doctor told us that by that check up they normally look for babies to be back at their birth weight (because babies tend to lose weight at first) but Silas was one whole pound over his birth weight at his appointment and not only that but he had grown 2 inches! But do not let this story fool you, he is still a small little baby. The majority of his newborn clothes are still a little big on him and he is wearing a lot of preemie stuff. Mostly because he is so tall and skinny. He is a lean, mean, eating machine!!! I feel like all I am ever doing either feeding him or pumping to have stored milk for when I go back to work! If you have not heard him eat, then you should.....it's hilarious!!! He is the loudest eater, he hums and grunts the WHOLE time. He will eat till he starts spitting up and then he goes to the bathroom and his little newborn diapers can never hold the river that he loads it up with so almost every outfit he wears gets pee'd on! oh how the laundry piles up.

His first bath was not fun! He hated it, though I do not that many babies that were keen on having their first bath either. I did not take pictures.....I know I am horrible and I keep forgetting to every other time I have given him a bath, BUT we did make a video of his first bath so when we finish editing that I will definitely post it! Now, Silas is obviously an adorable baby but what people can not tell from his pictures and most of the time holding him is that he has a MAJOR mullet going on!!! It's pretty funny :) You see he was born with quite a head of hair but now it is falling out where he is always laying on it but the long hair that's on the nape of his neck is not falling out but yet it is growing. It's so cute!!

With the weather going from warm to hot to cold to warm again lil' man has developed the sniffles so we have been having to use to booger sucker and he is not a big fan. His doctor recommended using some saline to flush his nose out and let him sleep in his swing or something slightly elevated rather than flat to drain and so far, so good. He still sneezes and has a few boogers but it's a lot better than it was!

Silas has only had one play date with his friend, Asa but there will be many more to come! Keep checking back for updates on my lil' man! :)
