One month!

Our little guy is one month old today!  Wow, where has the time gone?!

• We went to the pediatrician today and Arthur weighs 10.9 pounds.  I told him that he's growing way too fast for his mama and that he needs to slow down and stay little for a while longer.  That's the 75th percentile for weight and he's in the 95th percentile for height.  (I think they said 23.5 inches.)
• He seems to have a very similar temperament to Eleanor, at least at this point.  He's pretty easygoing most of the time but will definitely let you know when he's not happy!  He's also a good sleeper like she was, thankfully.  We start his bedtime routine around 7:00 (soon to be 6:00 with the time change...ugh) and put him down for the night by 8:00.  Most nights he wakes up twice around 1:00 and 5:30 to eat and then gets up for the day around 8 or 9.  Eleanor dropped that 1 AM feeding at 6 weeks, so I'm hoping Arthur will do the same.  Eleanor also goes to bed now at 8:00 and gets up around 8:00, but when the time changes we're just going to let all of these times shift back by an hour rather than trying to change anybody's internal clock.  Hopefully they'll gradually shift to be a little bit later though since a 7:00 pm bedtime makes it hard to go anywhere in the evenings.
• Arthur is also a good eater - obviously.  During the day he usually eats every 2-3 hours.  Unfortunately he's also big on spitting up, just like Eleanor was.  I'm talking what-seems-like-an-ounce-of-milk-flowing-like-a-river-down-my-shirt kind of spitting up.  It's not really a problem since he's gaining weight fine and it doesn't really make him fussy, but it can be a pretty major annoyance when I just got dressed and ready for the day.
• Arthur is definitely smiling some social smiles!  This is much earlier than I remember Eleanor smiling at us, and I didn't quite believe it for a few days.  Hunter kept telling me I was making it up...until Arthur smiled at him.  ;)
