It's A Britton Life For Me: A Difference A Month Can Make...

It's so crazy to think how much my life has changed in just one month. I know it's totally cliche to say that, but its true. One month ago I was just Kyra. Big ol' pregnant Kyra. And now I'm Mom. Its so surreal whenever anyone refers to me as Mom,I still don't even think it's quite sunk in yet. I just keep expecting someone to walk through that door and take this baby back. It's honestly just too good to be true. haha yeah, I know, so corny right? But for real. Jeff and I always just look at each other in amazement that he's actually here, and he's actually ours. I mean for 9 long months all we talked about was this baby. What he would look like, what kind of personality he would have, how hard or easy being parents was gonna be... and now it's our reality, and I love it!

Anyways, enough of the hormonal post pregger mumbo sappy jumbo... Onto Mr. Milo! Man, I love this kid sooo much already! ITS NUTS! He is honestly the perfect baby. He's had his nights and days straight since the very beginning, and has slept like a champ because of it. Eating was a little hard in the beginning, but that was my body's fault, not his. So he lost quite a bit of weight. But we got it all sorted out and now he's nursing amazingly, and gaining weight! Hooray! So I just want to jot down a bunch of things for myself and Milo for later on in life, so feel free to skip down to the pictures :)

At one month Milo:
-weighs 8lbs 9oz
-sleeps 4-5 hours, eats for 20 min, and sleeps for 4-5 more
-LOVES tummy time
-awake for most of the day, minus a couple hour naps here and there
-when he's awake, he's REALLY awake
-he is SUPER smiley... he has been since day one, but now I can actually make him smile by tickling him, playing with his lips, and just recently when he focuses on my face and sees my smile. (talk about melting a mom's heart)
-He is starting to find his voice. Usually right after a good feed, when he is clean and content he will sit and smile and jabber at me. (Did I mention this kid is perfect?)
-He is completely content anywhere we put him. Crib, Playpen, Swing, Floor...
-absolutely loves his baths!
-He is always staring up at lights. He will sit for hours and just stare around at everything
-The only time he cries is when he needs a change, or he's hungry, and sometimes when he's really tired. (but even the littlest skid mark in his pants requires a new diaper... and man those things are expensive! I'm honestly thinking about cloth these days)
-Loves sucking on his hands. He won't let me swaddle him with his hands in, or he freaks out. They have to be able to get to his face.
-is super strong! He can hold his head up very well, and loves it when we help him stand.
-loves the car... which makes sense, since I drove around basically all day every day while pregnant.

So there ya have it, my perfect one month old baby!! And now for some pictures...
