1 month old!

So Spencer is now a month old. He is lifting his head really well now, He also is starting to be awake more often now. He also smiled at me this morning. He was latching and unlatching and kept doing this and i called him a turd and he smiled at me it was so cute. He is a good baby. He only cries when he needs to be fed really. Except when he is really really tired too. His schedule is starting to get more regular. He takes a couple naps during the day and is awake for an hour or so in between. He has soooo much gas we have to help him get rid of it. Also we found out the hard way that he may be allergic to desitin. When i put it on him his rash gets worse. So we have set to using powder. He wakes up about every 2 1/2 -3 hours at night to eat. It took like 3 full weeks for his umbilicle cord to fall off. Spencer now weighs probably about 11lbs or so. We had him weighed on monday when the maternity nurse came and he was 10 lbs 10 oz. So he is prolly well over 11lbs. He is filling out nicely and getting cuter everyday.

It has been a roller coaster ride for the last month. When i dont get enough sleep i get depressed and frustrated easy so i have to make sure i sleep more. There were a couple nights where i was awake for most of the night because Spencer was being grumpy. But all in all its been a fun experience and wouldnt trade it for anything. Its still hard to believe im a mom and i have to raise this child forever and be responsible for it.

For those of you in the area or planning to come. Spencer's baby blessing will be the first of February. My baby shower is the 23rd. Call for info if need. Well here are a few pictures for you all to see of spencer.
