1 Month (okay...6 weeks)

1 (and 1/2) Month(s) Old

Okay, okay...so I'm cheating and didn't actually take this pic until 6 weeks old. What can I say? Time just keeps flying by. I'll do better with the future pictures now that I know what setting I'm doing them on.

So here is our handsome man at 1 1/2 months old. He loves taking naps on our chests and being snuggled. He also really likes his bouncer seat and swing for when he's having "happy awake time."  He can lift his head up while laying on our chests and while upright getting burped (with some support so he doesn't flop backwards).

For the most part, he still gives us big, expressive faces and just little noises. He is also starting to blow bubbles with his spit a lot. :) He's very smiley and happy in the mornings and starting to make cooing noises and other cute sounds. When he's hungry he makes a little noise that sounds like he's saying "now." :) But if Mommy doesn't get to him fast enough he definitely knows how to wail! My favorite noise is when he's been upset and you put a binky in his mouth and he makes a cute little desperate noise like "em, em, em"...kind of like the noise a little puppy makes.

Cannon still loves his hands and likes to sleep with them out of his swaddle, even though sometimes it keeps him up longer because his arms still flail around a bit when he's startled or when his pacifier falls out of his mouth. He's figuring out how to use his hands more and grabs at our hands and faces when we are close to him and pulls on my shirt when he's nursing. He is also starting to figure out putting his fist in his mouth. He gets really frustrated and lets out little shrieks when it doesn't work how he wants it to.

He has big, blue eyes and his Daddy's forehead. We love that he is getting chunkier and longer as you may be able to tell from the picture.  He hiccups and sneezes a lot, which we attribute to the springtime in Idaho (and possibly inherited Dad's allergies). :) He still has all of his beautiful hair, which is getting thicker and lighter in color. it has to be brushed every day and washed every 2-3 days so keep away the little baby dandruff.

All in all, it's fun watching our little man grow. He has such a fun personality and brings so much joy into our home. We love our little Cannon!
