On Wednesday, David will be 4 weeks old.  I can’t believe it…a whole month has gone by and it’s December already.  People always told me that kids grow up so fast and if this month is any indication of how quickly it seems that time passes, he will be all grown up before I know it.  Scary.  David’s first month of life has been wonderful.  We feel so lucky to have a happy, healthy little one who has been a delight so far.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that his good behavior continues.

For David’s first few weeks of life, he has been showered with love and affection from our friends and family.  We have had lots of visitors in and out over the past month – all to meet the ‘little man’ as I call him.   While he has spent most of the last four weeks doing what all newborns do – eat, sleep and poop he has had some waking time where he has been spoiled to death by everyone.  On Thanksgiving everyone couldn’t get enough of him!

Since coming into the world at 7lbs, 13oz and 19.5 inches, he is now weighing in at 8lbs. 15 oz and 21.5 inches.  Surprisingly though, the doctors thinks he should be a little ‘fuller’ so we’ve been giving him special formula to bulk up a bit.  Hopefully he won’t be too plump at his next visit.

I still can’t believe just about a month has gone by!  It’s been the best month of my life and we are so happy with our bundle of joy.  We can just sit and stare at him for hours and when he is awake we love playing with him and seeing the world through his little eyes.
