1 Month Old

Today this cute boy turns 1 month old!  I can't believe how fast time flies and how big T.J. is growing!

1 month facts:
-T.J. has already been to Arizona (driven thru), Las Vegas, and California (including the beach)
-Been to 2 weddings!
-Loves looking in the mirror
-Loves bath time (he is going to be a fish like his daddy)
-Is able to push up on his fists and pushes with his legs (he doesn't really get anywhere unless he uses he head to scootch but I think he will be an early crawler)
-T.J. LOVES music!  Especially when his daddy is singing to him
-He loves to smile and we love to see his smiles
-Wakes up only once during the night to eat...he is a great sleeper!
-Loves a clean diaper...the happiest he ever is is when he just gets his diaper changed
-T.J. has learned how to grab things with his hands and loves to do so!  Whether it is my finger, his doggie on his binky, his binkey, his blanket, or his toys...he sure loves his hands and ALWAYS wants them free...no swaddling for this little one, unless his hands and arms are out.
-As of today, T.J. weighs 9 lbs and is 22.5" long

T.J. is such a happy baby.  He is so curious and loves to look around at his surroundings.  We love him so much and can't get enough of him.  I have withdrawals when he is sleeping because I want to be holding him but know it is good for him to sleep in his cradle.  The dogs also love T.J. and always stay near him.  Max loves to sleep under T.J.'s cradle or swing when he is in there.  Sadie loves to come and lay her head on T.J.'s stomach or lay near him while he plays on his playmat.  I always try to snap a pic of Sadie and T.J. but whenever I grab my camera, Sadie comes to see what I am doing.   I am determined to get a picture of it!  Until then, here are some pics of T.J.'s first month:
