It is hard to believe that today my sweet little baby is 4 weeks old!!! We have his one month dr’s appt on Monday. I just can’t believe how fast the time is flying by!!! When people say “you blink and they are going off to college” I understand what they mean. Obviously I have a LONG way to go, but at this rate, it will seem like no time. I am really enjoying watching Mac change and grow everyday. He has changed so much in so many ways. First, his appearance has already changed a lot and I know there is much more changing to come. He went from “mini Wade” and looking nothing like me to a mix of both of us. People still think he has Wades mouth and nose and now people think he is starting to get my eyes! (Dozier eye’s dominate ha!) I can’t wait to see how he keeps changing. Something else that has changed is his little personality. At first if he wasn’t eating he was asleep. And if he wasn’t eating or asleep he was crying (aka getting ready to eat, so he could go back to sleep) Now he does a lot of eating and sleeping, but now he stays awake between a few feedings and at first I just braced myself for a cry-fest but then I realized, he just wanted to chill and check out his surroundings! I love that. He loves to smile. I pretend that he is smiling at me because I’m always saying “smile at your mama, Mac” One day he will put those two together and smile at me on purpose!
He is sleeping on average 4 and 5 hours at night which is nice. Sometimes it’s longer, sometimes shorter. He is a good eater. This child takes a 4oz bottle about an hour after I feed him at night. And he would take more if I would give it to him. I have a feeling he is going to be a chunk soon.
I have taken him in a few more outings. We have gone shopping at Name Dropper, out to lunch with some friends and dinner with some friends. He has done WONDERFUL (knock on wood) everytime!!! Last weekend a good friend of ours got married in Tuscaloosa. Wade was in the wedding so we headed to Birmingham Thursday night. We went over to Tuscaloosa on Friday for the rehearsal dinner and wedding on Saturday. My sweet parents watched him so that I could go to the dinner and wedding. I forgot his stroller and I was so mad because there is a great outdoor shopping center in Tuscaloosa and it would have been really nice to stroll him around. Oh well, you live and you learn! We are going back to Tuscaloosa this weekend because Uncle Clint gradates from Alabama so this time I will not forget it! It’s so funny because everytime I go somewhere it seems like I forget something. Thankfully, besides the stroller it hasn’t been a problem. Eventually I will get that diaper bag packed right!
Anyway, I cant wait to see how big he has grown at the doctors office Monday. I will add pictures later.
