Wow I cannot believe it has already been a month. Believe me some of the days have run together and seem to be somewhat of a blur. As I mentioned before Luke was such a good baby and that continued until the 3rd week. I mean he still is perfect to us but some things have changed. The actual nursing thing has ended and now I am exclusively pumping just to make sure little one is getting enough (eliminating reasons why he is crying) and he tends to be extremely fussy during the night time hours. We are still trying to determine if it is a growth spurt or colic. We have had some really bad nights. Even though he has made me cry a time or two he is still the most lovable baby and I enjoy our naps together. We broke down and have allowed him in the bed with us. Sometimes you do what you have to in order to get sleep. He usually has one good stretch of sleep for 3-4 hours but the other times he generally needs to be in the bed with us to sleep. He is great during the day and has been such a trooper running errands with us and going out to eat.
He is a growing little boy too. When he left the hospital he weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and at 2 1/2 weeks he weighed 9 lbs 11 oz and was 21 1/2 in long. He now weighs approximately 11 lbs based on our scale. We go back to the doctor on April 12th for his one month appt. No official smiles yet but he does look at you with the sweetest face and you can tell he is trying so hard to understand what you are saying to him. Here are a few pictures from the past month.

Of course big brother wanted to be in the photo with him
Love the picture of you and Luke- it's so sweet:) I can't believe how much he has already grown! Also, James looks so big! Maybe b/c Luke is so tiny;)
