Beau is 1 month old! At his 1 month check-up yesterday, he was 8 lbs 15 oz and 21.5 inches long. He is in the 10th percentile for weight and the 50th for height. I think his head circumference was 37 cm, but I may not remember correctly. I do know that he was in the 25th percentile for head circumference.
I am still sleep deprived :(! Last night, I put Beau to sleep and put him in his swing (since he sleeps better when he's being rocked). When I woke up to feed Beau, the swing wasn't on anymore. It's not on a timer. I must have turned it off in my sleep, because I have NO recollection of turning it off. Oh well I guess.
In other news: I broke a chair last night. Well, I guess I really didn't break it per se. For weeks now, Jereld has been telling me that the legs on our red kitchen chairs (which were his Grandma's before they were ours and are quite old) were starting to spread out more and more. I didn't believe him. In all fairness, he did warn me that he thought they would break soon. And last night, I sat down, and the next thing I knew, I was on the floor yelling, "JERELD!!!!!!!!!" Luckily, I wasn't holding Beau--Jereld was. One chair broken...two more to avoid. I chose to not sit in any more red chairs last night. But even when I did sit down, I sat down EXTRA gentle.
To my credit, when Jereld inspected the broken chair, he noticed it had been spot welded because it had probably broken before.
Breaking a chair is just one of those things you don't want to do...it makes you feel a little round around the edges. I'll be hopping on the elliptical very soon--promise!
Well, let's get to the good part:
One month old in these pictures--to the day! AND--fresh out of the bath! AND--Daddy did his hair like Daddy does his own hair!
Speaking of hair, this kid likes to feel his own hair. I catch him feeling it all the time!
Oh! And he smiled for the first time yesterday, but I didn't catch it on camera...darn!

The best thing about him feeling his hair is it's something he'll probably do all the time for the rest of his life. Trent rubs his eye when he's feeling scared or uncomfortable (like when he's in trouble!) and it's the best thing. I don't think he'll ever out grow it. Danny still sleeps in the same position that he did when he was tiny and lacy sleeps in the exact same position. I love it!
And my chairs are really old too. Now I'm scared!
