One Month Old

Well that went by fast!
This big guy is doing so well. For the first few weeks I felt like a first time mom again since I had never had the newborn experience at home. We didn't get home from the hospital with Tanner until he was 3 weeks old so it was all new to me.
I always knew that newborns slept a lot, but I didn't realize how much they actually sleep! It's been nice, but of course it also worried me until I figured out it was normal.
He is such a mellow baby, so it looks like I have been blessed with 2 easy going kids! We'll just see what happens when they're teenagers.
Right now his sleep schedule is still flipped. So he sleeps almost all day and is up almost all night. It also seems as each night goes by he gets a little more fussy at night. He's probably got a little colic, or at least that's what Grandpa Cannon says. Come to think of it, I don't think he's been as fussy the last couple of nights. We'll see how long that lasts.
This kid is growing and chunking up so fast! At his 2 week appointment he was already 8lbs 13oz and 21 inches long! And just over the last few days he has gone from newborn size diapers to size 1 and I have had to put away a bunch of his newborn clothes already because they are pretty tight on him. I sure wish he would slow down!
We are all so happy to have him in our little family and he fits in perfectly.
We love you bunches already little Chaser!
