My First Mother's Day

Thanks to Graham, I got to celebrate Mother's Day! I'm only 5 weeks into this motherhood thing, but the tears of joy that I shed on a daily basis are unreal. Our little dude makes me so happy. Life is truly so great.

Saturday Chris gave G a bottle so that I could sleep in. I told Chris he would probably be hungry around 9:30-10 so He needed to wake me up so I could feed him. At 11, Chris and G come wake me up! I asked Chris what he did to keep him quiet and he said he had him suck in the empty bottle, hahah! Total first time dad move. The gesture was much appreciated, though, as I got to rest up for the first time since April 1st. 

The rest of Saturday was filled with hanging out around the house. Chris cleaned and prepped our fence to be stained. I kept G alive and managed to do a few things here and there. 

Saturday night we went to church and then out for burgers with our friends. We devoured the best sweet potato fries and truffle fries. My mouth is watering thinking about them. 

Sunday we tried to get breakfast at this diner close to our house, but even as early as we got there, it was packed. So, we went to Dunkin Donuts and then drove around because Graham was happily sleeping in the car. 

When we got home, my friend came over to meet G for the first time. After she left, we went back to the diner for a late lunch and the got Braums ice cream for dessert. 

Chris needed some new boots, so we went to Cavenders and then momma got to go get a pedicure!

It was a low key weekend, but I wouldn't have had it any other way!

Baby Boy Clothes || Genesis Baby

pants and hat c/o Genesis Baby

Whoever said baby boy clothes were not as cute as girl clothes must have never had a boy because, hello! Look at these throwback, Fresh Prince, leggings!

I've held off pretty well from buying too many things, only because he is so tiny and will grow out of everything so quickly. But, I already have a stock pile going of winter clothes. He will be older and bigger and able to really wear an outfit.

Luckily, Genesis Baby sent G some super cute leggings, so even this one month old has style.

I can't wait to keep dressing up this baby boy of mine!

One Month With Graham

Graham turned one month old on Sunday. This month has flown by and he is changing each day. I know this blog has turned into a baby blog, but he is consuming our lives right now! 

Personality: Graham is so cuddly! He is really chill, unless he is hungry. I always think, "Man, you just ate!" and then I realize it has already been two hours. He definitely knows who momma is and has the sweetest smiles when he sleeps.

Weight and Length: 10 lbs 12 oz! Baby boy is a growing machine! He is 21.75 inches long. He is in the 71st percentile for weight and 66th for height. He was 7 lbs 8 oz and 19.25 inches at birth.

Clothes: Still in newborn clothes. Some 0-3 months brands fit, but he has been rotating the same few outfits. We have tons of 3 months outfits, so I'm excited for him to get to that size. 

Diaper size: We are almost out of out newborn diapers, so he wears those during the day and size 1 at night. 

Bottle: Last night we gave him his first bottle and he took it like a champ.

Sleep: G is sleeping in his pack 'n play in our room. He sleeps great, but definitely wakes every 2-3 hours to eat. At night he grunts so loud, so I pick him up, feed him, change him, and right back down he goes. After his 4am (ish) feeding he starts tooting so loud and it takes him forever to go back to sleep, so I usually grab him and let him sleep on my chest until we wake up.

Paci: He is not a fan. We have tried at least five brands and he hates them all! We have caught him finding his thumb, so maybe he won't ever like a paci.

Dogs: The dogs are doing great. Bailey guards him by laying at the feet of whoever is holding him. Wrigley runs to his side when he whimpers or cries. It is adorable!

I have a million more pictures to show y'all, but he just went to sleep. so momma better get some rest!! I will update later with his stats from his appointment!
