Happy One Month Jaxon

Can't believe this first month has flown by so fast!   Yesterday marked Jaxon's first monthday!  (Kind of like a birthday but we celebrate every month for this year!)  He has already grown so much!  As of his one month check-up he was 8 lbs, 13 oz, and 21.5" long!  His head circumference is 14.1.  He eats about 3-4 oz every 3-4 hours.  We definitely have not mastered sleeping through the night (we have our days and nights backwards)  He wakes up every 2 hours and stays awake for 2 hours at a time at night. Usually he just wants me to hold and rock him and talk to him.  In his first month he's already attended 2 family reunions, and a couple of swimming parties.  He has changed so so so much!  His eyes are a dark blue/gray color! I really figured they would lighten up but they haven't yet!  I think they're absolutely beautiful eyes, but of course I am biased.  He's stayed once with his g-ma for a couple of hours and once with his jojo and grandad.   I really figured I would be a much more uptight parent than I am, but I guess I have learned to chill out quite a bit.  I am trying so hard to hold on to these days I have before I go back to school but they seem to be flying by!  I guess I better stop blogging and pick up my little love bug for some snuggle time before this afternoon flies by too.
