Month One

Asante Miles was one month old on Sunday! He is so perfect, but of course I am bias.  For the most part he sleeps in his crib for every nap, and at night.  He sleeps around 3 and a half hours between feedings.  Some nights we get lucky and he sleeps 4+ hours!  Asante has also starting to have more awake and happy time.  He loves hanging out on his ocean play mat, watching the octopus, kicking the whale, and listening to the music.  Of course, he also gets to spend time with Daddy in the man cave.  I'm not sure what they do, because I'm technically not allowed in.  I'm sure there will be many years of wonderful father-son time spent in there :-)

Not sure how he feels about the bumbo :-)
Asante's one month check-up on the 4th of September. Dr. Cosgrove said he is doing great! He now weighs 8lbs, 14.5oz and is 21.5in long. Asante got his second HepB shot, needless to say, he did not like it! Thankfully he is a tough little guy, and only cried for a minute.

We have had a very busy month, with lots of visitors! The Janes gang came to visit the weekend of the 24th.  This included Gran, Great Gramsy, Aunt Ang, Uncle Eric, Aunt Kacy and Kacy's parents, Kathy and Kelly.  It was the first time Asante met his Uncle Eric and Aunt Kacy.  He was totally spoiled, and I don't think was put down one time :-)  The following weekend Grammy, and Aunt Tamara came.  Tamara was here Thursday to Tuesday and Grammy was here Friday to Monday. We had a wonderful time with everyone.  Asante is such a lucky boy to have so many people to love on him!

My 25th birthday was also this month.  We celebrated at the Cheesecake Factory when my family was in town.  And the again on my actual birthday; we went shopping and got pedicures with Aunt Tamara.
