1 month old!

Lincoln Andrew! You are 1 month old!!! You are the most amazing little boy I have ever laid my eyes on!!!!
You are on an awesome schedule...You eat every 3 hours starting at around 7am...I usually have to wake you up to eat! After your first feeding, you usually lay on mommy's chest and go back to sleep for a little while until it's time for mommy and daddy to get up (close to 8). You are so happy when you wake up! You started smiling right at 4 weeks old and have not stopped! You play with us while we get ready, then, right now, we head to church. You stay awake from 8-10, eat, play a few minutes, then nap until I wake you at 1! You are either awake from 1-4 or 4-7 depending on what we have done that day. I can't believe you can stay up that long! After a long wake time, you sleep really well:) Most of the time after your 7pm feeding, you will play with us till bath time at 8:30. Then we feed you at 9, put you to bed, and wake you at 11 to eat one last time to make sure your belly is full. You have typically been sleeping 4 hours during the night, wake up to eat, then sleep 3 more hours. The past 2 nights, you have slept 5 hours!!! Way to go!!!
   We just moved you up to size 1 diapers, and you will be out of your newborn clothes soon:( I can't believe how fast you are growing. At your 2 week check up, you weighted 8.3...mommy weighed you this morning and you are almost 10 pounds! You are a super fast eater, but you apparently eat a lot!
   You survived your first thanksgiving with both families. I think we put you through the ringer, being passed around so much, but you handled it like a champ! Mommy and daddy could not possibly be more in love with you! You love to count with daddy in english, spanish, and german everday! You smiled big when daddy was telling you about Jesus last night...it made mommy's heart happy!
   I love you sweet boy!!!
