Weight...

You were born at 10 pounds 8 ounces, left the hospital at 10 pounds even, first doctor's visit 11 pounds 9 ounces, not sure sure where you are at right now but got on the scale with you this morning and it said 14 pounds… but that seems a little big, don't know if I believe it!

Height...

You were born at 22 inch, first doctor's visit 23 inches, and I pulled out the tape measure this morning… thinking you are around 24 inches!!!

Clothing Size...

Mostly 3 month clothes, but they are getting awfully tight! I know now that when you have a baby in the summer… everything is nautical… I think we have 5 rompers with whales on them. We are trying to squeeze into them size wise and seasonally before fall comes.

Sleep Patterns...

*Right now* you sleep great as long as you are swaddled. You usually give us two stretches at night that are at least 4 hours and have given us up to a seven hour stretch (I share this knowing, from experience, that it can change anytime). You also give *Usually* give us one really long stretch during the day.

Eating Patterns...

You like eating, but not like BD did. You eat and get it done and then either want to be swaddled and rocked or awake!

*We went out to eat and shopping multiple times

*We went to the zoo… you slept the whole time.

*Lots of friend and family visits!

*You have been to church, small group, college and 20s group… really everywhere we normally go!

*We also had your newborn pics taken :) You can check them out here and there are a few below! :)

Nicknames…

*Champ

*Grunt Man- I think all newborns grunt!

*Big man, little man and the such.

Things others have said about you...

* "He is so big... He doesn't even look like a newborn." (They said this about BD too)

*"So much hair!"(They said this about BD too)

*"He holds up his head so much."

*"His eyes are open so much."

Things we have noticed about you...

*You love being swaddled and rocked and only nurse to sleep at night. The rest of the time you need to be swaddled and rocked.

*You are mostly chill and really like to take everything in. You are all about being awake and aware during the day.

*You have some awesome facial expressions!

For Jameson Luke...

At one month… BD-left, Jameson- Right

This month has been so fast, but at the same time it feels like you have been here forever. It is fun to see how you are your own little person… already very different than your sister, but the spitting image of your father.

There has been joy multiplied and another learning curve as we get to know you. We pray for you each day! That you will know the Lord Jesus Christ and share Him with the world!!!

And… all the other pics :)
