4 Weeks Old Today

Today is Noah's 4-week birthday, and it seems like it's flown by. Over the past week or so, he's changed so much and is so alert now. We're so blessed and have loved watching him grow (a lot!) during this past month. His personality is starting to appear, and almost all of the time, he's a happy, very observant, and talkative (i.e. grunting) little boy. Some other things we've learned about him:

- he loves to nap on his tummy while Mom or Dad holds him
-he loves being held where he can look at your face..not a big fan of being cradled unless he's eating
-he loves to eat!
- he loves his bear mobile on his pack n' play...but he's as equally frustrated as Dad that the mobile doesn't move on its own
-he has a cowlick on the back of his head
-when he wears Orange on UT gamedays...we win!
-his eyes are still a dark grayish-blue and have yet to start changing much
-he's a big fan of the TV
-he loves to have his hair washed

Anyway, these are just a few tidbits.

Tyra and I took Noah in to the doctor for his 4-week checkup today and he's still growing very well and healthy as can be. He weighs 12 lbs, 3 oz and is about 22 1/4 inches long. He's gained almost 2 lbs since his last appointment two weeks ago. He does so great at the doctor visits, and has never been fussy or cried at all when being checked. At his next appointment in one month, he'll get his 2 month old shots.
