1 MONTH OLD!

Today Ely is 1 MONTH OLD! The days have flown by. I'm amazed at how much he has grown. As of today, he weighs 9lbs. 4oz. He just seems so big compared to the day he was born.

He is a very "solid" baby. He is very sturdy and strong. He holds his neck up a lot on his own. He likes to use his legs to stand up and pushes us away when we love him too hard. :) The other night, we were giving him tummy time and he rolled over 3 times! He has yet to do that again, so it might have been a random strong moment.

We think he is attempting to smile. He has given us some faces that seem to be moments away from a grin/smile. I'm really looking forward to seeing that!

Mom and dad are doing really good. He sleeps for about 5+ hours during the night. Then, after that feeding goes right back to sleep (he likes his sleep)! He has his fussy moments, but we get through those times and move onto the happier moments fairly quickly.

He's an amazing addition to our family. Not only have Anthony and I felt the amazing transition individually, but our relationship has flourished since he joined our team. It's truly an amazing feeling to be a part of this family.
