Ledger at 1 month

I can't believe that Ledger is 1 month old.  He is just a wonderful baby.  He is nursing really well.  He only spits up if he gets a little too much milk.  I make a lot of milk, so I have had my normal trouble.  I get plugged ducts fairly easily.  I will run fever and just not feel well.  Fortunately, I have been able to work it out and it hasn't gotten too bad.  He is eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours--during the day and at night goes 3 or 4.  At night, he just eats and gets a diaper change and goes right back down to sleep.  So thankful he is so good!!!  He will sleep for 3 or 4 hours straight.  I am swaddling him at night and he is sleeping in the travel bassinet on the floor beside our bed.

He is wearing mostly 0-3 months clothes.  The newborn stuff is, for the most part, too tight and too short.  

He is having a hard time pooping.  He just grunts and strains and has lots of gas.  I have wondered if his little hole is too small and that is why he is having such a hard time.  Layton's was and he had to have his stretched at 2 months old.  But the doctor says this grunting is fairly normal, though, so we are just trying to get through it.  

We have done a little bit of tummy time and Ledger doesn't seem to mind it.  He kicks and kicks his legs.

He loved his first bath and is always so happy when getting his diaper changed.

This little guy rarely cries.  He seems to like to sleep in the pack-n-play in the living room for naps instead of in his crib.  I think the noise puts him to sleep.  This is a good thing because there is definitely lots of noise in this house with the other two boys!  

Ledger is holding his head up briefly.

He seems to want to put his hand/finger in his mouth.  He likes his pacy, but definitely not as much as his siblings did.  Hoping we don't have a thumb sucker on our hands!

He has been to all kinds of places this month and does great at them all.  He has been to Layton's Preschool Program, out to eat at Chili's with me and my coworkers, Lincoln and Hannah's awards ceremonies at school, swim team practice, Hannah's graduation, VBS, Bunko, church, a swimming party, etc.  He just goes with the flow.

He is giving us some sweet, sweet smiles and is just a very happy content baby.  We love him SO much!!!!
