One Month Myles

Our first month with Myles has literally FLOWN!

The big kids are absolutely enamored with him.

He thinks they're pretty interesting...

although sometimes a bit intrusive of his personal space.

His chicken legs are bulking up, and his chins are rapidly multiplying. 

BUT...according to his one-month appointment, he's still a little peanut.

Weight - 9 lbs. 2 oz. = 20th percentile

Length - 21 inches = 15th percentile

Head Circumference - 15 inches = 25th percentile

Daddy is the Gas Whisperer.  I don't know if Clare and Isaac were spared of the terrible tummy issues, or if enough time has passed that we've forgotten the intensity of it, but Phil has effectively learned how to relieve the gas that plagues Myles' poor little tummy every night.  I can do another post on that later.  :)

Even though it has only been one month, and we've had tremendous help and support since he was born, we feel like the transition from 2 to 3 kiddos has been easier than 1 to 2.  I may rescind that comment down the road.

A friend took some newborn pictures last weekend.  
These were on my camera, but I think it's an amateur glimpse of what hers will look like.  Yeah!

Myles has become a great night-time sleeper.  Over the last week, he has slept a few 8-9 hour stretches.  We typically put him down for good around 9:00 or 9:30 PM, and he sleeps soundly until 5:30ish.  The first few weeks weren't that smooth, but we're counting our blessings now.

 Papa was here for 4 weeks, and he was a hero to all of us.  The kids loved going on countless outings with him, and I was blessed to have so much one-on-one time with Myles.  Win-Win-Win!!!

I am so thrilled to have another little boy.  I always thought that I was going to be a mother of little girls, but I just can't get enough of my little boys.

Just for Fun...
