Happy 1 Month, Austin!

I cannot believe how fast the first month has gone!  It seems like just yesterday we were dealing with the whole NICU ordeal. We have yet to get our bill from the hospital and I'm sure I'll cringe when I see it...not looking forward to that mail day!

We don't go to the doctor until this coming week to see how his weight gain is going. I've put him on our scale at home and he isn't quite at 10 pounds yet. I'm hoping the scale at the doctor's office shows that he's at least back up to his birth weight, but we'll see. He eats great, at least every 2-3 hours!  I'll update on his weight/height after we go. The girls were both slow, but steady growers so maybe he's just following their lead after having an extraordinary birth weight!

Weight: 10 lb 9.6 oz
Clothes: 0-3 newborn stuff is too small, but 0-3 is slightly too big...he's in an awkward stage, but 0-3                 work much better than newborn
Diapers: size 1...I tried to shove him into newborn the first week we were home, but that didn't last.                    He wore size 1 while in the hospital too!
Hair: still brown
Eyes: still grayish blue

Milestones: I swear he is already smiling sometimes and not the 'gas smiles' after just eating, like legit smiles when you talk to him. If he doesn't start to roll early, I'll be surprised because he seems to want to try already! He's starting to coo a bit and he loves when his sisters talk or sing to him. He enjoys sleeping, eating, and pooping...typical baby!  He has the 1 month old baby acne all over his face. The #1 comment we always get in public has to do with his hair!  He does have good hair!
