One Mo - Where has the time gone?

On Monday little Cedric turned one month old. Wow, I can hardly believe it has been a month. Here is the first in what I have been told will be a long line of baby "mo" photos. Here is Cedric on his one month day sporting his first "mo". 

Here are the One Month stats:

Length - 23 in - 95th %

Weight - 12 lb 1 oz - 95th %

Head - 39 cm - 60th %

Summary - He is a monster of a baby and growing very quickly! 

Here is a photo of Cedric on Monday. He is becoming much more aware of his surroundings and starting to enjoy his little jungle play yard. Still no smiles though.

Bob has now had his turn at feeding the baby. I have started saving milk in the freezer so we can start venturing out more and for longer periods of time. Below is Cedric is enjoying his first bottle. He took it really well, especially considering his dislike for pacifiers (*Update* As I was typing this Bob gave Cedric a pacifier and he sucked on it for 10 min. Good for Bob because he was running out of ways to calm the little buddy down). It took some concentration on Bob's part to make sure Cedric didn't eat too fast. He really took advantage of the artificial nipple. Cedric has started spitting up so we are trying to keep him from overeating and well burped.

Last Thursday I went to my first new mom class at Isis Parenting. It is an eight week class where we learn tips for caring for our babies and share our experiences. There are 10 of us in the class and we are encouraged to meet outside of class each week. I went for a walk with a few of the girls on Monday and am meeting with some on Thursday before class for a coffee. I'm hoping some of the girls will be friend material!  

We are having more fun with our little man every day. He enjoys watching us and calms to our voices. He really isn't a big crier though he does get fussy in the evenings. Baby loves to be held!
