1 month!

Hard to believe that our little baby is already 1 month old.  Maybe I can't call him my little baby, because he isn't so little.  Today was the appointment and we found out that he is 11 pounds, 6 ounces and 23 inches tall.  He is 79%ile in weight and 87%ile in height.  Just for comparison Reegan was 7 pounds, 10 ounces at birth (Gavin was 9 pounds, 3 ounces) and at 1 month was 8 pounds, 14.5 ounces (50%ile) and 21 7/8 inches (75%ile).  Both babies had a smaller head, Reegan 35% and Gavin 19%.  He is starting to out grow some of his 0-3 month clothes and is starting to move into 3-6 months.

I do get the "wow, he's only 1 month, he looks like a 2-3 month old" comment.  He sure is cute though! 

 I also hear that he looks just like Jason too.  I don't see it, but at the same time I don't see how Reegan looks just like me, but strangers will stop me to tell me, so it must be true!  I'm happy, maybe now we'll each have a little mini-me. 

 Eyes are bright blue and his hair is blonde, has the Heine family hair line too :)
Loves to eat (obviously), eats about every 3 hours day and night though has starting giving me some 4 hour stretches at night.

Loves to be outside.  In the evenings when he is crying, I'll take him outside and sit on the pourch for a little while.   He quiets right down, he's looking towards the window here and trying to see outside.  Gavin loves going for walks.

He is very alert during his awake times and makes wonderful eye contact.  Any sudden movement and his eyes get very wide and he looks so surprised.  I see this most often on our walks if we hit a bump in the side walk or if sister comes running into the room.

Gavin is not the easiest baby.  He wants to be held all the time and gets very angry when he is left alone.  It also seems like he has some colic.  I have given up dairy, once again, not sure why my kids develop this dairy intolerance and reflux, and we're starting some gas drops today to see if that helps. Evenings are kinda difficult because he is often very cranky and fights going to sleep.  I go back to work in a few weeks, so hopefully he outgrows this before the night-shifts start again.

Photo shoot was over when someone kept face planting on the couch.  He knows how to get his way :)

We are so incredibly in love with this little man, I honestly feared I would not be able to love him like I love Reegan, but its amazing how much love one can have!  We are so greatful for this wonderful gift that God instilled in us in raising him to be the person he was created to be.  What a huge task, but we're so thankful he is ours.
