One Month!

Our little monkey is One Month Old today and we are so smitten with him:) Caleb you should know how much you have changed our lives. I know we had a life together before you, but the life we have now just doesn't even compare. We love you so much! Everyday I love you more and more; I didn't know my heart could love so fully and completely. We are so blessed that our Heavenly Father chose us as your parents for your time here on Earth. He could not have given us a more perfect baby.

You are such a sweet baby when you're awake and looking up at us with those baby blues! You sleep for most of the day, but we get a few hours here and there of your smiling face. You typically nurse every 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night. Between nursing, burping and a diaper change, our nursing sessions still take right about an hour each time. You're not on any set schedule yet. Some mornings we're up when Daddy leaves (9 am) and others we get up around 11 am. It all depends on how your night was and how hungry you are!

We have been battling with COLIC and it is no fun! I say its no fun for us but you are getting the worst of it. Some days are better than others...one day you'll sleep all day and you wont make a peep and others your crying and fussing every 30-45 minutes it seems like. We are trying to burp you more frequently and keep you in your bouncer to help with your tummy. I hope you know that we are trying everything we can to help you through this stage and pray it runs its course sooner than later. It breaks our hearts to listen to you cry at the top of your lungs and know that we've done everything we can to help.

You love to be held and the Dr said that we can't spoil you during this phase so we are holding, rocking and bouncing you A LOT! During the days if your being fussy and crying, I'll lay you on my chest and you fall fast asleep (melts my heart!). When Chris gets home from work, he swings and bounces you in his arms and you look up at him with the sweetest look on your face. We are soaking up this time with you right now because before we know it you will be crawling all over the place!

We are completely in LOVE and can't wait to see how you grow over the next month!
