Mr. Man is One Month Old!

Mr. Man officially turned one month old on Saturday.  Grandma D came up Friday to stay with Miss M Saturday so we could go to a wedding in Wisconsin.

Mr. Man was an excellent wedding guest. He slept through the ceremony and the reception.  The best part was the bride and groom had organized babysitters for the children so Mr. Man went stayed with the babysitters and slept for three hours.  He woke up around 8pm and we were exhausted so we left the wedding early and went back to the hotel and went to sleep.  Mr. Man had gotten enough sleep during the wedding and reception and decided he wanted to be awake from 3-6 am.  It is less than ideal to stay in a hotel with a baby.

Mr. Man had his one month check up.

He weighed in at 10 lbs and 8 ozs - 75%
He was measured to be 23.5 in long - > 98% (as a disclaimer I don't think he's that long but he probably is at least 23 inches which still makes him very long - it was hard to get a measurement due to him being hungry and squirmy)
His head is still in the 50%

Mr. Man has started to spit up a lot and with the spit up comes irritability and general discomfort. We were able to get an acid reflux prescription so hopefully this will help his feedings.

Mr. Man is a good baby (especially compared to Miss M - she was a pistol).  He's sleeping relatively well for being one month old. Miss M does okay with him since some days she likes him and some days there's a bit of jealousy.  She tells him that it's okay and she also tells me to put him down when she wants me to play with her.

We are surviving.  The help and assistance of everyone makes a big difference.  It makes things so much easier and better when there are an extra pair of hands around. We are going on a road trip for almost 2 weeks pretty soon. It could either be a disaster with everyone off schedule or fantastic because there will be people to help me and play with Miss M.  First I have to pack for three people for that long. I am procrastinating it because it's kind of overwhelming thinking of all of the stuff we will need for two weeks.
