Joshua 1 month old

Our darling boy is one month old. We have forgotten what life was like before we had him. We are busier but busier with him and not busier with things that do not matter.

Joshua has grown a lot and changed in this moth since his birth. He has put on lots of weight. At his last weigh at the Child Health Centre he had put on 340gms in a week (since the previous weigh) and had grown 4cms in length since he was born.

He is smiling sometimes now and earlier in the week, rolled from his tummy onto his back. Daniel and I thought it was fluke so we put him back onto his tummy and he did it again. So I guess that means he knows how to do it. Next challenge is rolling from back to tummy! lol

Joshy is sleeping well and is very settled and happy. He is only waking up once (sometimes twice) a night, but generally the one wake up around 3ish, means he settles right back and then doesn’t wake until 6-6.30am.

John went to Port Macquarie for 2 nights for work, so it was my first stint of doing the mother/baby/kids thing on my own. It wasn’t too bad. Tuesday night Joshy was a bit unsettled but John’s mum Bev was here so we took it in turns to look after him, but he still settled well in the evening anyway so we aren’t sure what was wrong.

We are off to Canberra next week for a workshop so it will be interesting to see how he goes but there are lots of people there who are wanting to see him because the last time we saw them I was almost 8 months pregnant with Joshy.

Till next week……
