BABY X IS ONE MONTH!!

Baby X turned one month old yesterday!  I can't believe four weeks have passed by already.  It seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home.  He's grown so much since then and I'm already missing him being all tiny.  

My mom loves to shop, and Baby X has been on the receiving end of her little excursions.  One of her shopping trips yielded Baby X his first Jellycat.  It's the bashful monkey soother and I love it.  It's so soft.  Baby X however doesn't really know it exists - he's not too interested in toys yet.

This weekend we went to go eat for Baby X's dad's birthday.  This is the first time we really took Baby X anywhere other than the doctor and for a walk, and what happens?  We forget everything!  Didn't bring the diaper bag, didn't bring anything to cover him up with

...hey, at least we didn't forget him.  I guess this is something that all new parents do though...right?  A couple of days after this we had a little one month celebration for Baby X.  This time we made sure we didn't forget anything.  Thanks to Baby X's great grandma, grandparents, aunties, and uncles for sharing the milestone with us and for their generosity. 

Not much else happened this week as far as milestones go.  Baby X started tummy time and he did really well.  Prior to this he was already rolling on to his side, so I wasn't too surprised that he would take to tummy time; he doesn't always like it though.

Baby X has been smiling a lot lately too, but I'm never fast enough to capture it.  He also, like his father, eats A LOT.  I feel like I'm constantly feeding him...he's so heavy now.  Other than that not much else has happened or changed, or maybe I just don't notice that much since I see him all the time.  Sometimes I think we get sick of being around each other so much, but on that rare occasion when I'm not with him I miss him so much.  I guess this is what being a parent is.
