1 month old....WOW- time flies!

Deacon is a month old today...I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital yet I can't imagine my life without him. He is amazing to watch everyday, growing bigger and bigger, figuring things out- I love it! He's recently found his tongue and plays with that all the time. He's starting to smile in response to you and coos and babbles after he's eaten. He's also got a HORRIBLE temper around eating time and if you don't feed him fast enough he's not a happy little guy! Deacon loves to watch sports center with Kevin and loves loves loves to look outside. He's always up for a car ride and never turns down a walk. It's amazing at one month old that he has already developed such a personality!

Being the amazing child that he is (ok maybe I'm a little biased) he rolled over last week. He was doing tummy time on his play mat and rolled from his belly to his back. He didn't seem fazed by it at all and continued on about his business. Of course Kevin and I went on and on about how great he was and what a big boy he was but he didn't really care and it seems to be a one time deal for now :)

Deacon slept in his crib for the first time last night. He had been sleeping in his pack and play in our room and we (Kevin :) ) decided it was time to transition him into his big bed. He fell asleep in the living room and we took him upstairs and I swaddled him and put him in the crib. Then I lost it... He looked so tiny in that huge crib and I was sure that he was going to wake up and not know where he was and be scared to death. Not so much :) He slept like a champ, waking once to eat and going right back in his crib. Much more traumatic for me than him!

His one month appointment is Tuesday and I can't wait to see how much he's grown. He's a chunker so I wouldn't be surprised if he weighed 12lbs :) Only one shot at this appointment so hopefully I can hold it together....

Kevin's back at work tomorrow so it's me and the boy on our own...should be fun but we'll miss time with daddy!
