1 month!

Jem is 1 month today!  I can hardly believe a month has come and gone since he came into our lives!  We've had our share of sleepless nights, but sweet smiles are coming now too.  It makes those long nights more bearable when they become more than a cuddly blob :)  Jem is highly into anything with contrasting colors - like the blankets on the back of our couch.  He also loves his brother and sister and often calms down when they're nearby.  They also love on him a lot!  At his 3 week appt he was 11 lbs 14 ounces and 22.75 inches...though I feel he has grown in the last week.  Suddenly those newborn diapers look like bikinis on him and his 0-3 month onesies are too tight.  So we are officially into 3-6 month clothes!  We're still not getting much sleep around here, but I'm hoping once we pass that 6 week milestone perhaps we (ie, me) will be getting more sleep.  2 hours at a time is not cutting it!  He's grasping things in his hand now and last night took a paci - the first of my children to ever accept one! 

His second month is shaping up to be a big one - weddings, soccer, tennis, swim lessons, and by the time that 2 month milestone comes along we'll be knocking on the door of school starting!
