This could be the longest yet fastest month of our life as a family :) not only have we survived - our family has grown closer in so many ways. But boy, are we tired:)
Weight: last Thursday he weighed 9lbs 2oz. Since he has been at the doctor at least once a week we have been able to track his weight pretty well:)
Size: he has pretty much outgrown his newborn clothes:( he wears 0-3 month but some are still too big for him.
He still wears newborn diapers
Sleeping/eating: now that we seem to be on the right path with his ailments- he is sleeping like a rock star. We feed him around ten before we go to bed and the past several nights he has slept until around 3. Sleep is such an amazing thing. We know how precious it is after weeks of not getting any:)
He sleeps a lot during the day but I try to keep him up for at least a little while after eating.
Right now he is on hypoallergenic formula and is taking 4ounces every 3 hours during the day. And the best part- he takes it not warmed!!! His formula is expensive but we both agree we would pay $500 for it- he is a different baby on it. So thankful for our pediatrician and modern science.
Parker is currently sleeping in the living room because sleeping next to my bed was not cutting it for neither Philip nor myself. He grunts all.night.long. We can't handle it! And I'm not trekking up those steps every time I need to check on him:)
He is pretty fussy in the evenings, of course the time that was already the hardest with just Ainsley.

Loves: Bath time, being held, being sung to
Hates: diaper changes, clothes changes, being cold
It has been a rough first month for you little man but you seem to be getting better and better. We can't wait for your personality to start to shine through- but for now we will settle for baby snuggles (and no crying).
