Happy monthday Nick! We are so amazed at how much you have blessed our lives already. Mostly because we love you no matter what, and partly because you have been such a good baby so far. Your mild temperament has really helped Mommy get back into the swing of things quicker than she anticipated! You still look a lot like Lila, but you also really look like a boy. Which is impressive since most babies look gender neutral. Your Aunt Anna simply calls you "Boy Lila."
You still eat pretty much every three hours, but some nights you will sleep for 5 hours at a time. Too bad when you do that you usually fall asleep earlier than mommy so she still hasn't really gotten more than 3 hours of sleep in one instance. But it's still nice to get a bit of a longer break. Your big sister loves you so much but is also jealous of the attention you get. She wants to be close to you but isn't very good at being soft. Her favorite thing to do is give you a big hug and squeeze. Since you are often wrapped up she tends to go for your face and we worry about you not breathing or getting your nose broken. She will learn.
You take a binky but are often content without it. Usually you need it the most if you are awake close to feeding time. You are starting to be a little more picky about wanting to be held when you are awake or falling asleep. Most of the time you are good about sleeping in your cradle at night. Rarely you have had to cry yourself to sleep, and a few times mommy had to keep you in bed to keep you calm. You really like the warm water of a bath, but since mommy and daddy don't immerse you yet you get fussy in between having the warm water poured on you. Sometimes I think you will fall asleep under the water! You seem to be growing very fast. Don't know how much you weigh now but you were at 8 lbs 2 oz at your two week appointment. You can still fit into your newborn clothes. You wear size 1 diapers.
Everyone who holds you comments about what a good baby you are. We sure have enjoyed having you around! We love you!
