Our little man is 1 month old already! My how time has flown. We've come from 5-10 mL of formula at a sitting to upwards of 6 oz (180 mL) per sitting!

Dexter and Stimpy are adjusting too, begrudgingly on their respective parts. Stimpy is still Stimpy and is more or less indifferent to Jack. He still needs and wants his cuddle time when he wants it though. Dexter love his little brother. He rushes to Jack's side when he's crying and lays in front of his room in the evening to protect him. He is, though, having a tough time adjusting to the amount of attention we can give him since Jack has commanded so much this first month.

Mom and Dad are doing better now as well. The first few weeks were certainly challenging, but also very rewarding. Once we discovered Jack had acid reflux and got him medication to help, he's felt much better. We're up to periods of 4-4.5 hours of sleep at a time but 2-3 hours is more consistent. Next month let's see if we can't get 4 consistent hours little man!

Jack has already been to a baptism (Reid Huling's where the picture with mommy below was taken) and to a first birthday party where he got a kiss from the birthday girl! Soon enough we know that'll be us taking Jack through some of his life's first milestones.

Weight: About 11 lbs 6 oz (on our home scale, which given our weight we know is WAY off)
