Miles hit the one-month milestone on Tuesday. Sure, I’m a couple days late, but its ok. In the world of newborn rearing things like blog posts and posting schedules don’t matter much.

At one month, Miles is still a little peanut. We hit a few bumps in the road to happy, healthy nursing but things have been smoothed out and he’s packing on those ounces like a champ and I am predicting a record weight gain at his next ped’s checkup.

He seems most content when we are stretched out in bed, chest to chest, during the quiet of night. I find myself starting to love the hours between midnight and sunrise much more than I ever have before. Those are the hours when he is at his most watchful. Taking everything in and trying to make sense of it.

Though he is a calm little boy, there are things that can elicit wails of unhappiness that have us all scrambling to soothe him. Diaper changes, bath time, and not being fed right-this-minute are at the top of Miles’ “Do Not Like” list.

At three weeks, Miles…
