Lynx' First Month

This is a blog entry only a mother could love.  It consists of mostly photos of a baby sleeping.  Dull, but oh so cute.  (However, a special visitor came specifically to liven up this blog!  Thanks Auntie Breckie and Auntie Mitchie!)

A glimpse into my life: A toddler in one hand, an apple in the other....blankets, blankets everywhere!  And an infant somewhere in the thick of it all...  Glamorous, no? 


A nice profile shot, and it looks like he's a trying to sneak up on someone.... 




A baby party! In the elevator on the way to my postpartum support group, Lynx got to hang out with his buddies Esther (left) and Seamus (right). 




Enjoying a little love from Auntie Breckie, who also bestowed upon him (and his sister) many, many delightful gifts. Thanks for everything!!  We had so much fun with you guys. 





Surprisingly, Nova's abundant love for her brother has not waned.  Every morning, she runs into my bedroom, asking to see "baby brother" or "big brother."  She looks around the bed for pacis.  Upon finding a few, she places them lovingly on his face, hands, belly, or blankets and exclaims, "Pacis for baby!" Then, she snuggles up to him, giving him hugs and kisses and saying, "So little. So nice."  She then tries to destroy everything around him.  But, so far, so good.




His hands are almost always near his face.  Because of this, we usually swaddle him with his hands out.  If we did that with Nova, she would smack herself in the face and wake up.


More sleeping. 


A slumber party!  Lynx and friend Seamus (the younger brother of Jack, a regular installation on this blog) are enjoying their first slumber party while Katie and I commiserate.



  
As of July 10, Lynx is one month old!  I can barely believe it.





Lynx STATS:
He's enjoying baths more and more.  Probably because I'm remembering how to do it more each time!
On June 30, we did some tummy time.  He launched himself up so he could see me and had a huge smile on his face.  He then tried to talk - he makes these wonderful cooing sounds.  I talked to him, and he grunted back as if trying to participate.  #love
To show off some of his cooing, check out this video I took this morning!
And this video has less cooing, but more wiggling.  

At his 1 month pediatrician appointment:
He is the same height.
He is now 11.5 pounds!  He's gained two pounds in two weeks, and three pounds since he was born!  It's all gone to his belly, which protrudes so adorably.  (See many exhibits above!)
