Baby Roy Turns One Month Old

Well, we're parents! It's kind of surreal to say that. Sometimes it feels like Roy still hasn't even come yet, and other days it feels like he has always been here with us. Having a baby changes so much! I don't even have much to say, so this will probably just be a photo-dump for now. Maybe someday I'll write about his birth story, or recovering, or things we've learned with a newborn, or anything else...but I'm not sure I am ready or have really learned enough to write about that yet.

And maaaaybe someday far into the future, I'll resume writing about new recipes we try, desserts I make, and crafts, but in the 4 weeks thus far, I have made exactly 1 dinner, 1 breakfast, and 1 dessert, so I am not sure how soon I will get back into the cooking/crafting world. :)

Here are some stats about Roy as a 1-month old.
-He weighs over 7lbs. I'm not sure how much, but at this 2-week appointment (which actually occurred when he was 2.5 weeks old), he weighed 6lbs 14oz. Third percentile for weight! :) But he is growing and healthy, so third percentile sounds fine to me.
-He is still in newborn diapers and newborn clothes. But just this morning I had to put away the first outfit that no longer fits him. It was just a newborn sleeper, but I think it was smaller than the other ones we have. He has started wearing some of the smaller 0-3 month clothes as well!
-He wakes up to eat about every 3 hours at night. Sometimes 4 hours. So he usually gets up twice before being up for the day around 7-8am.
-We are finally starting to really push to get him on a schedule. Now that he's a month old, I'm excited to start a routine of eating and naps.
-He has the most adorable hair that anyone has ever seen. :)
-He has an awesome case of baby acne. Apparently there is nothing much we can do, and it doesn't bother him of course, but it sure makes taking baby pictures hard. I think he's cute, but the pictures sure don't do him justice.
-At first he couldn't stand taking a pacifier. He doesn't like the hospital ones, which are supposed to be the ones most babies like! But we found out he does like one specific kind of pacifier, and now that he has discovered that pacifiers are fun, he won't go to sleep without one.
-For his one month birthday present, we cut Roy's fingernails (we are such cool parents...), so now he doesn't have to wear hand mittens all the time!
