You are now another month older. Why does time insist on speeding up no matter how much I pray it would slow down? A contradiction that all mommies experience as we love watching you grow and change and learn. But these newborn months no matter how stressful and exhausting they may be are SO fleeting. You're already trying to roll over, smiling every once in a while, and are changing so much. This month you gained 12 ounces in one week--mommy was so proud--pretty sure I told everyone we came across. You met your great-grandmother and great aunt. Celebrated your cousin's birthdays and loved on your daddy for your first Father's Day. You also went to mommy's favorite place, Ocean Isle Beach, out of utero. You were there about a month before your arrival you particularly enjoyed evenings on the back deck rocking with whoever claimed you that hour. Your sister is beginning to love you more and more which we are so grateful for. You haven't suffered a paci being thrown your way in a few weeks now.
--You are 10lbs 1oz--4%
--You are 23 inches long. You're going to be tall. I swear in one afternoon you grew length wise laying in my lap. --51%
--Eating every two-three hours. You either breastfeed, take a pumped bottle, or take one or two formula bottles a day. I'm so grateful our breastfeeding journey is going differently than with your sister, a lot less stressful.

--Being talked to, we have all sorts of conversations with you these days. You just take it all in like you can totally understand what we are saying.
--Swaddled
--Hair dryer
--Lights
--Ceiling Fan
--Being hungry
--Dirty diapers
--Being changed
--The carseat is hit or miss. For the most part you're pretty good in the car but you can sense when we've got about 30 minutes of a journey left and well...
Looking forward to celebrating your first 4th of July this month, attending your first wedding, and two baby showers for your aunt Goof and baby Aubrey!
The days sometimes are long Parks. But I know too well that the years are so short. I'm treasuring every moment with you sweet boy, the good the bad, the easy the stressful. Babies don't keep.
