One month of Jack

...About a week late. Jack turned one month old on May 18. 

My, how those shorts show off your lovely pot belly :)

Jack Jonathan Kingston 

May 18, 2012

Weight 
I'm not totally sure right now since we don't go back to the doctor for a few weeks. But at his two week appointment he was at 10 lbs 2 oz  -  up from 8 lbs 9 oz at birth! He's a (healthy) chunker! I'm gussing he's around 12 lbs right now. Already not so little.

Diapers 
Size one. We've been using Huggies (because they are the softest material), Pampers size one seem a lot bigger.

Hair
His hair has been one of the biggest changes we've noticed. When he was born it was super dark. The past few weeks it's been getting a lot lighter, almost like mine when I was little - a light reddish brown. Now, not only does he have old man hair with the long hair in back and shorter on top, but he has this receding hairline! Ha! It's funny because the middle top is pretty long but each side of that strip is almost bald. It's a little strange.

Clothes
We have officially outgrown newborns. Zero-three month clothes are fitting him perfectly.

This months firsts
>A real bath. He loves them, or at least is very content when he's in the tub
>No more guzzling milk too fast
>Pushing himself up with his strong leggies (and scoots across the bed by pushing on daddy's arm) and holding his head so well
>Spending time in the oil field with daddy
>Snorting
>Traveled five hours in one day (with one one hour break) and did pretty darn good for such a little boy. 

Jack likes
His bouncy/vibration chair
Sleeping on his tummy (and other people's tummies)
Playing with daddy
Hanging onto mom's necklace
Going for walks

Jack doesn't like
Tummy aches
Laying on his back for naps
Riding in the car too long

Mom loves
A sleeping Jack, especially sleeping on me
His smiles
Showing my baby off
Baby skin, especially his bare feet now that it's getting warm out
Always having someone with me - I love his companionship
His curiosity
That he looks so much like his daddy
His wrinkles on his forehead
When his eyes are wide open and oh-so-round
Seeing my two men sleeping in the morning, all cuddled up
His scrunchiness and the squirmy face he makes when he stretches


Dad loves
Having a "buddy" to gang up on mama with
Watching how strong he is growing to be
Letting him push his legs on his arm and squirming around - daddy thinks he's close to crawling :)
Telling him his pot belly matches his mama's - ha!
