One Month

I cannot believe Maxwell is one month old today!  He is such a joy, and I cannot imagine our life without him.  I made it through my first week when Mike went back to work last Monday, and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.  Although Amelia is definitely the hardest one to take care of, since she is in what has to be the height of the “terrible twos”!

Maxwell is now up to 9lbs 3oz, which is almost a three-pound weight gain.  Most nights he sleeps for three- or four-hour stretches and is only up for about 10 minutes before falling back to sleep after his tummy is full.  I am so thankful he’s a good sleeper; it’s made this whole transition to life as a stay-at-home mom with three kids much smoother than I was expecting.  

Noah's school had their annual "Hoedown" and Amelia was in heaven with the pony rides and holding baby chicks!  She literally went back to hold the baby chicks seven or eight times.
