Age: My baby is one month old today! Where has the time gone? I can't believe that a month has already come and gone. It's been a real life adjustment but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Weight & height: Edi weighs in now at 10lbs 4oz, that's a gain of just under two pounds. Way to go bud! I haven't measured his height yet.
Clothing: he's still in his 0-3 month size clothes but barely fits some of the smaller ones. I'll have to start switching out some outfits soon and start thinking about what we need to get him in the 6 month size.
Likes: Edison loves his milk! It's probably because he's so little and I'm exclusively breastfeeding but he just cries to be latched so often. I've grown to be perfectly okay with it. I'm making milk for him and if he wants and/or needs it then he should get it!
He also likes his soothie, tummy time with Cam (done on Cams chest), being swaddled, being carried in his carriers, being held upright on our shoulder and looking around at everything when he's awake. And he liked his new bath tub... until I got his head wet.
Dislikes: Edison HATES being naked and cold. He dislikes getting his diaper changed, although he screams less when we use the homemade wipes I make. When he has gas he's not so happy and then hates lying on his back. He only likes his rocker chair for short moments throughout the day so I'd say that he most often dislikes it. He's not a big fan of being in the stroller or car seat. My boy loves being held and loves being cuddled.
Development: Edison has been smiling! It's SO precious and super cute. It's my favorite when he smiles as he nurses. He is so much more alert than he was even a week ago, looking around with his eyes wide open! I love watching him and he's making a lot more sounds. He stares at us when we look at him and it's as though he's trying harder to interact with us when we play with him. He's also sleeping now in his cradle a lot easier so I don't bring him into bed with me as early in the morning as I used to.
Hows mom doing?: I absolutely love my boy! I'm doing good, I'm slowly still getting my strength back. I'm still taking iron pills and doing more than I did before. I'm cutting out dairy now to help with Edison's gas pains but I'm doing it for me too. I also can't believe how quickly some of the baby weight has melted off, it's been a great blessing. I'm so proud of myself! I'm still a little weepy some days but that's okay. I'm very happy in my new role as "mommy".
I'm very excited to see what this next month will bring for us and our precious Edison.

Ahhh dairy... I didn't cut it out completely (mostly milk) and it still seems to help. It's not bad. Almond milk is pretty tasty.
