The first month of Lee's life was so special for us. We had been waiting for this little addition for a long time, and it was still surreal that he was here. After one month, he gained a whole pound and two ounces, which was no big surprise. Boy CAN EAT. And oh man, can boy spit up. Maddie was the same on both accounts, but you really do forget how much these tiny babies can EXUDE.
Little man "sat" well for his first little portrait.
As far as personality, Lee Michael had definitely let us know his likes and dislikes. He was already very social and trying to smile at people. He loved to be outside, just like his sisters. Fussiness would disappear the moment you set foot outdoors. He was sleeping about 3 hours at a time at night, and definitely preferred to spend that time directly on mom or dad. He was co-sleeping in our bed, but didn't really like to be swaddled or sleep on his back (of course).
He loved the bath from the beginning, but really disliked being changed. During the day, while the girls were in school, he would mostly nap in my lap...which definitely made it hard to ever get anything done, but I consciously wanted to soak it up while it lasted.

He was, in a word, a JOY, and we were excited to see what this baby dude had in store!
