February 2011 taught me more than I could have imagined, and I knew way less than I thought I did. Miles turned 4 weeks yesterday and here is what I have figured out this last month:
- Eye cream is sooo worth the money.
- A bath tub is a great place for a power nap.
- Getting out of the house is a wonderful thing, even if it is just to go to CVS.
- Miles likes to ride in the car and in his stroller. Looks like more trips to the mall are in our future.
- 5-6 hours of sleep suddenly seems normal. 7-8 hours seems like a dream.
- Babies really do grow so fast. Miles can't wear most of his newborn clothes anymore, and yesterday he hit the nine pound mark!
- We learned what the five S's are to calm a baby: swaddle, suck, side, swing & shhh. We've got the swaddle thing down. I would post a picture but you might call CPS.
- We also learned that we can't imagine life without the little man and we love him so much, even though he does get an attitude in the evenings.
Here are a few pics of Mr. Miles the last few days. Can't believe it's been a month! I have been taking him to work for a few hours here and there this week. He is usually pretty good when we're there so I think I'll try that again today. It's raining anyways so maybe it won't be too busy and he can do his thing. I also need to get working on his announcements. Hopefully I can get them out before my Christmas Cards.
Miles has his first social gathering to go to this weekend. It is a couples shower for Jenni & Mason (due mid April) and kids are welcome. His cousin Sam will be there too. Happy Weekend!
