MJ - 1 Month Old

MJ is one month old already.  Its hard to believe we have been a family of 4 for an entire month.  Its amazing how we are already seeing his personality and certain likes and dislikes.  I think for us the thing we will remember most about this past month is how much MJ likes to suck.  He is always looking for your thumb, your finger, his binky, and just today his thumb managed to meet his mouth for a few blissful moments.  MJ eats A LOT, nearly 4 oz, every 3 hours on the dot.  Just when you think MJ is sleeping so hard that he won't wake up, the 3 hour mark hits and he is wide awake, ready for food.
MJ is a great cuddler.  He likes when we sit, holding him against our body, especially if he can be on his side.  As long as he is warm he will sleep for long periods of time with us just sitting.  A big difference from his big brother.  PJ required us standing and moving to be content.   Although MJ likes to cuddle, he does NOT like to be swaddled.  He has to have his little arms out.
MJ hasn't smiled as a reaction, but his gas smile is a great preview of things to come.  In the last week MJ has been much more alert of his surroundings, so hopefully a smile will happen any day now!  Until the smile happens we will just enjoy MJ's awesome big eyes and cuddles.
