After a month, we're finally settling in to a rhythm and routine as a family of five. I don't feel an overwhelming sense of panic or anxiety anymore when I'm with them at home on my own. I remember feeling really nervous the first time I was alone with two of them too or the first time I took both to the store. I had my first solo parenting experience this past weekend when R went to open our trailer for the season.
At one month, Noah:
- Is starting to have much more time alert when he is awake.
- Weighs 10lbs and has been packing on a pound per week. No wonder I've been starving and achy from carrying him around.
- Is a decent sleeper. Wakes up a few times through the night but generally just eats and goes right back to sleep.
- Holds his head up really well.
- Tracks objects.
- Is a total daddy's boy. Next to eating, his favourite place to be is cuddling with or sleeping on dad
- Has started smiling just this week
I'm a bit sad at some point this month we'll start transitioning him to sleeping in his crib in his own room. I know we'll all get a much better sleep that way but I've grown to love the time settling in bed with him and R at night. For now, I'm enjoying the cuddles at night and sometimes while he naps. I'm also enjoying devouring books from the library like The Goldfinch during our nursing sessions.

Go you! for surviving your solo time. :) Love the picture of Noah sleeping with daddy!
I was quite impressed myself :) Noah sure loves his daddy cuddles!
Wow! Does he ever look like N in the picture of the three boys! So sweet, Kristy:)
I can never tell which one he looks more like. I go back and forth! I can't wait until his characteristics become more defined.
