Ian hit his one-month mark on Sunday. It's hard to believe it's already been a month, but at the same time it seems like he's been part of our family forever. We are definitely enjoying him! He is growing lots - he's already 10 pounds. He's grown out of the newborn clothes and diapers... At about 2 weeks old he got acne really bad. I didn't think anything of it - Rachel had it as well. His has spread quite a bit though on his back and chest. Yesterday the doctor was concerned it may be an allergic reaction to something I'm eating. So, I'm cutting out dairy for the next 3-4 days to see if that helps. We shall see... On top of having red spots all over he's also balding. He has quite the receding hairline. :) But he's still as cute as ever!We have decided that we finally have a newborn who actually sleeps all those hours the baby book's talk about. Ian sleeps a lot. He's also doing really good at night. Most nights he only gets up once - somewhere around 3 AM (one night he actually went until 5 AM). He's usually down for the night around 10 PM and then wakes up somewhere around 7 AM. A lot of the times he'll then go back to sleep until 10 AM. It's nice when he does that because I can get Rachel off to school, get myself ready for the day, and spend some time with Audrey.
Ian just started doing intentional smiles, so we are enjoying that. He loves his woombie - maybe that's why I finally have a baby who sleeps. Ian is definitely already very curious of the world around him. When he's awake he's looking around a lot. He really likes lights, fans, and looking out the window. When the weather is nice, he enjoys being outside. Ian also enjoys the swing - sometimes that's where he takes his best naps. And he tolerates the bouncy chair for about 15 minutes at a time... Ian also really enjoys his baths. He takes a binky every once in awhile, but doesn't necessarily need it to sleep or be happy. It's more just something different to do... It's fun to watch and see him grow and figure out what he likes and doesn't like.

We are definitely enjoying having a little baby boy in our house!
