Davis 1 Month Old

Davis Todd Wilson July 9th 2010

Davis is one month old. He started to smile just in the last day or so. He eats, sleeps and fills his diapers like a champ. On the occasion that he does cry the kids go crazy. They want me to "HELP" him or "TAKE CARE OF HIM" right then. One time when I couldn't get to Davis the second he started to cry, Preston ran to me telling he Davis was crying. I said I would be there in a minute. I guess that was not good enough for him because he then asked me why I didn't want to take care of the baby any more. I just laughed and said I did and would get to him the second I got out of the shower. 

Todd and I have had many talks with the kids about why baby's cry, eat and poop so much. It's been pretty funny. They don't know how lucky we are that he is pretty mellow for a newborn. I know he will wake up soon and things will not be so easy so I'm enjoying it now.

This past month has been interesting. I've really slowed down. I'm enjoying feeding, diapering and holding Davis. I've been resting and slowly easing into summer. I'm also tuning into the older children and what they need. So far it's a ton of hugging and talking. Sydney especially needs me to snuggle her more than normal. She took it the hardest when I was sick and pregnant. I didn't realize how much until I had the baby. She looked so relieved when she came to the hospital and could check on me and the baby.  Bella has been really great since the baby came. She can't hold him enough and wants to show him off to all her friends. She to has needed Todd and I more than we thought. She wants us to do things with her thought. Play a game, make a hid-out or even go for a scooter ride. Preston has liked having the baby here but is only really interested in how long it will take for Davis to be able to play with him. The day we brought Davis home he ran over and took a look at him and asked, can he run now? I said no not yet. Then he asked, can he crawl? I said nope not yet. Then he went on his way. 

At Davis's one month checkup he was 11 pound, 75% and 22 1/2 inches long, also 75%. So far he is healthy and strong. 

That's all for now....
