All About Wesley: 1 Month Old

Well, our little Wesley is 1 month old already! Hard to believe!

We are doing very well, and really enjoying our time as a family! Lack of sleep is definitely catching up with me at times, but I certainly can't complain about the mostly-chill temperament of our little boy! Wesley is eating well and it shows with his growth - he was up to 9 lbs at his 3-week appointment. Now that we have reached the 1 month mark, we officially have the go-ahead from the doctor to go out a little more, though we will be adding things back into our schedule slowly. We are looking forward to introducing Wesley to our church family on Sunday, and to extended family back home over Easter weekend! So much to look forward to!

Wesley loves looking at lights, and is starting to focus more on individual objects close to him. He has always been a noisy guy, and he continues to grunt and squeak throughout the day and night. He is also starting to grasp more, like mom's shirt or hair, though he won't grasp a toy he is given yet. We see "spontaneous smiles" (not in response to anything) quite often now, and can't wait to see the first real social smile from our little man!

Here are some updated photos, and some more updates from Wesley!

I'm this many months today! Mom says I am a good eater, and that helps me grow! Just look at my chubby cheeks! 
My hair is getting lighter now, and my eyes are a steel gray-blue.
Look how tall I am! I've outgrown most of my newborn clothes and I'm moving up in the world!

My sister, Izzy, loves to cuddle with me and Mom. When I play on my play mat, she gets her rope so she can play, too!
Thanks to everyone for all of your support and well-wishes through our first month! From dropping off meals to simply sending a text or message, we truly appreciate it all!
