RPG One Month

Oh my, Ryan is one month old already! Time is really flying. Jason and I have said to each other many times, "can you believe 4 weeks have already passed??" And I have on many occasions said "can you believe I have been on maternity leave for FOUR weeks???" I think time is going by quicker with Ryan than it did with Carson. I also think that is because we have a toddler to play with and take care of too. :)

Ryan at one month...

Weight 9 lbs 15 oz, Length 21.5 inches (approx 50% for both)
His demeanor is great-never fussy! He enjoys naps in the swing, just like his sister did! He has been sleeping in his crib and in our room in a rock and play seat. He eats about every 3 hours at night and during the day. We have gotten a few 4 hour stretches and one 5 hour stretch! But, our main "issue" is that Ryan is a grunter! He has a lot of gas and he grunts, squirms, and groans when trying to get it out and when trying to go poo! This keeps us up at night- sometimes he sleeps through it and sometimes it wakes him up. He loves to sleep on our chest-bad habit, I know! But we love the snuggles.

He continues to wear most newborn size clothes and we moved him into Size 1 diapers on his 4 week birthday. He is growing and FAST!!

His sister loves him so much! And for that we are grateful! She asks about "baby" right when she wakes up every morning and right when she gets home from school every afternoon! It is so sweet---although she does love to pull out his paci and take his blankie off of him! She thinks doing those two things are SO funny. So we are working on that.

Pictures to come soon... :)
