One Month!

We have had a great first month with Brooks.  We had lots of visitors around to help us out and he is really a great baby.  He is not fussy at all and pretty much only cries when he wants to eat (every 2-3 hours).  I have been taking a picture of him every week and we are doing the monthly photos also.


Week 1: My mom was here with us the whole first week.  We did a few more Christmas themed photo shoots before she helped me pack up all of our Christmas stuff.

 We also went to the doctor when he was 4 days old and he had gained a few ounces up from his birth weight which was good!  (He was very modest when posing for this pic) ;)

When he was 5 days old we put him down for some tummy time and he decided to roll over!  Thinking it was definitely a fluke I made him do it about a million more times (poor thing) and we caught it on video.  

Week 2: Todd's mom came to visit us the second week and his umbilical cord finally fell off so we were able to give him his first bath.  He loved the water!  (still does)

Week 3: He wore this when we went out to brunch with some friends.  He was great out of the house--slept the entire time.

Week 4: By week 4 all of our visitors were gone and we were running out of activities so I busted out the playmat and he seems to like laying there and looking up at the toys.

On January 25th we got him all dressed up for his one month photo shoot.  Here are a few of my favs...

The teddy bear is one of Todd's from when he was little that his mom had saved for him and of course Charles had to get in on the action.  I am hoping to get a pic of the two of them every month like this but we'll see how cooperative they both are as we go on!
