Can you believe this little guy is one month old already?!?!? We can't!!!! In fact, I usually really look forward to blogging...but I've been putting off this post all day. Putting the fact that he's already a month old into words somehow makes it more real! I just know how quickly time goes as 1 month turns into 2 and then 10 and before I know it, Maverick will be the one turning 26 months old like his older brother! I would rather keep my cuddly little guy just that...little and cuddly.
We had our one month pediatrician appointment on Friday.
Weight - 10 lbs, 11 oz (75%)
Height - 23 inches (90%)
He is growing great and is doing just wonderful :)
Do you have to flash that thing in my face when I'm sleeping too?
When comparing Maverick to Mitchell as an infant, Jacob and I both agree that Maverick has been much easier. Overall he seems to be a bit less demanding, and it probably helps that we're a bit more experienced! Mitchell took multiple naps throughout the day, but none of them were much longer than 45 minutes each. Maverick takes less naps, but they are much longer - sometimes up to 3 hours! Mitchell demanded to eat every 2 hours and would nurse for at least 45 minutes; leaving me literally no time in between feedings! Although sometimes he likes to match his brother's 2 hour increments, he usually goes 3 hours between feedings. He is a MUCH more efficient eater too - usually finishing within 15 minutes! God was really looking out for me this time around...he knew I couldn't have an unsupervised 2 year old running around the house for 45 minutes! You'd be surprised what havoc Mitchell can wreak in 15 minutes!
Milestones
His little belly cord fell off.
Maverick is holding his own little head up; he's a strong cookie :)
He has begun to smile - we love it!
First chair picture
Started losing his cute dark hair :(
His little onesie says "I've earned my stripes."
Happy one month, little buddy. We already can't imagine our lives without you and can't WAIT to see your little personality start to emerge in the coming months. You are one special little dude :)

AMEN. He is precious.
I can sure see Mitchell in that sleeping picture. Looks just like he did!
Cute, cute, cute! I was just looking at the boys' stats for comparison (to each other and to Will). We just had Will's 9 month last night, and he weighs less than Mitchell at 4 months! :-) Although height is between Mitchell's 6-9 month measurements. :-) I guess somebody's got to be the little guy, right? Jason probably wouldn't appreciate me saying that!
