ONE MONTH OLD!

Ian is now one month old! It's totally amazing to think that it's only been that long, already it feels like forever!

Ian has grown from 7lbs 9 oz. to 10 lbs. and from 20.5 inches to 23.75 inches!

Other milestones...
-Stares at your face directly for 2-3 minute stretches
-Recognizes mommy and daddy, often with a smile!
-Tracks hands to his face (and go cross-eyed)
-Sleeps 4-6 hour stretches at night!
-Has outgrown most 0-3 month sizes because he's so long!
-Grabs objects put into his hand...including mommy's hair!
-Turns his head to look towards voices - in all directions!
-Tracks objects in an arc with his eyes for approximately 90 degrees
-Accidentally kicks himself along the ground for a few inches when on his stomach (feet more kicking into the air than pressing onto the ground!)
-Rolls from back to sides purposefully
-Holds head up for 1-2 minutes at a time!
-Coos, gurgles, and "talks" at random times
-Sometimes smiles when you gently tickle his chin

Amusing things Ian does...
-Tries to suck on his arms and knuckles when he is hungry
-Pulls at his own ears!
-Almost always sleeps with at least one hand near his head
-Recognizes different textures with his feet...pulls his feet up when he feels concrete!
-Becomes amazingly quiet and still at bath time, he's fascinated by the process!
-Enjoys to be held up in a sitting position, so he can look around at everything

The list probably could go on and on, but these are the things at the front of my mind.

Ian is such a joy, I am so glad that we are blessed to have him! He is the best and cutest baby ever! :)
