Briggs is ONE month!

Literally, how in the world did that happen so quickly? The baby of the family is already a whopping one month old, which means it's time for his first monthly update/picture!

Weighs: Briggs' one-month check-up is next week, so I don't know his exact weight right now. But I did weigh myself on the scale and then held him with me on the scale and figured out that he weighs about 10.5 lbs. We'll see how accurate that was! {{Just for reference, at his two-week appointment he had gained 1.5 pounds and two inches in length}}

Sleeps: Briggs is a pretty good sleeper throughout the day. He still enjoys napping a lot, and due to the LOUD noise level of our house, he can sleep through just about anything ;) Just like we did with Wells & Grayer, we try to make sure he gets some awake time in the evening so he's ready to go down at night. During the night, he wakes up every 3-4 hours; so that's usually two overnight wake-ups and one in the morning once it's time for everyone else to wake up.

Eats: Briggs is a great eater! He hasn't had a full bottle of breast milk yet (just about one ounce that I pumped for Wells to feed him because he had been DYING to feed him!), so I'm not sure how many ounces he is eating in one sitting. During the day, he usually eats every two hours.

Wears: He can still wear some newborn items (some of the sleepers are definitely getting too small, though). I guess 0-3 month clothes are the best fit right now. We are finishing up the last of his newborn diapers, and then we'll be starting to use size 1's.

Plays: He's obviously not into toys yet, but he is starting to hold his gaze a little more. He will stare at items if you put them in front of him. He will listen to you talk to him, and he is starting to get a tinnnnnyyyyyy bit vocal. He seems to like when there is a lot going on around him (which is all the time in our house!!!).

Briggs has been such a blessing in his short little life! He has such a sweet personality and has been so easy going. His big brothers both love him and always want to be near him, be touching him, and be talking to him. As fast as this month flew by, I know it'll seem like no time that he's up and running around with his bubbas.
