Hunter 1 month

I can't believe that Hunter is one month already. He is still getting bigger and eating a ton. The only difference is that now he is getting formula every 2-3 hours instead of breast milk. I decided that it wasn't for me and that I would be happier for everyone if I stopped. So it has been a little over a week and he is doing well on the formula. I think that he also just went through another growth spurt because he was eating 4oz every 2 hours around the clock and now he is sleeping a lot today and last night. MJ saved me again last night and took the 1 o'clock feeding and then Hunter slept until 5:30 so I got about 6-7 hours of solid sleep. I feel like a new person today!
Overall Hunter is still a very mellow baby. Every night he has a "fussy time". But he doesn't really cry even then, he just squirms a lot and doesn't sleep. I couldn't ask for an easier baby. I just keep waiting for him to get harder but crossing my fingers that he doesn't.
I am feeling almost back to normal too. I cleaned the house today for the first time since he came. I know that is pretty gross, but true. It feels good to live in peace again.
Enjoy the pictures!



Like the double chins?

Jessi feeding Hunter for the first time. She loves to hold him still.


Jessi and Hunter watching TV together. He will usually fall asleep right there on her lap if I let her hold him long enough.

He is adorable! I totally understand about the nursing thing- I'm not a big fan of it myself.
