Father's Day

This was a special Father's Day, because it was Karson's first Father's Day!  It was also our dads' first Father's Day to be grandparents! We all got together at my parent's house and had a good time talking, eating, and loving on sweet Ellis!

One Month

This post is about a week late, but I can't believe our baby boy is already one month old!  We've had a few hard night, but for the most part he is a happy and chill baby.  He has gotten a little spoiled and loves to be held and rocked all the time.  He loves to eat!  He nurses almost every 2 hours.  Sometimes he gives me a break and goes 3 hours, but sometimes he wants to eat every hour.  He has already gained about 3 pounds this month and the doctor feels like he is getting plenty and growing well!  At the doctor he weighed 9 lbs and 12 oz.  He is about 20 1/2 inches long.  He sleeps almost all day and is awake every now and then during the day.  When he is awake, he is very alert.  He looks around, follows voices and stares at you.  He smiles a lot, especially when he is sleeping.  He usually only cries when he is hungry or dirty, but has started to get more fussy in the evening.  He does amazing in the car and just sleeps.  He has also done well when I have taken him out to eat or shopping, but I always have someone with me to help too.  He loves moving in his stroller or in the car and starts to get fussy or make noise when you stop for too long.  He was sleeping in the bassinet of his pack and play next to our bed, but now sleeps in his swing or rocker.  I think he got use to being held and rocked and didn't like laying still anymore.   He also loved being swaddled at first and now seems to hate it.  He kept breaking out of the swaddle and loves to flail his hands and arms everywhere.  He 

enjoys his bath time most of the time.   His hair looks like is starting to turn more blonde; we will see if he is blonde like mommy or brown like daddy.  He has blue eyes like mommy and daddy.  He makes the cutest and funniest little faces and expressions!  We are so in love and can't imagine life without him now!  We love you so much Ellis Jack!
