One month and double digits

Yep, Mad Max is a month old already! Hard to believe. We're through the growth spurt and the every-hour feedings, thankfully. For Max's birthday, he gave me a present - two days in a row of 5 hour sleep nights! What a world of difference that makes!

Max also lost his cord stump this week, which is nice, since that thing was pretty nasty! He also officially hit double digits, 10.1 lbs at the doc's office. I do think that his weight gain helps with his sleeping, as even the nurses agreed that the 11 lb. rule was not a wives tale. 11 lbs. seems to be the magic number for when they can sleep through the night, so we'll soon see.

More pictures on the way. I can't find my converter and my big memory card in my good camera doesn't plug directly into the computer!

He's so darling! I know it's never what you think no matter what you are told until you live it yourself! I do recommend (if you haven't) reading "The Baby Whisperer" and "Babywise" and take what you can from each. They both saved my life and sanity!! Sophie started sleeping 8 hours a night at 6 weeks and then 12 hours at 12 weeks and I really do think those books and what we did with her schedule and making her sleep in her own crib from day 1 helped A TON! :-) Take care and have fun!!!
