1 Month Old

I'm a little bit late in posting this blog, but happy 1 month birthday to Maxwell Stone Girod! We've made it one month, and LOVE watching our little dude grow and change. It's funny, because people always say that the first couple months fly by, however, I feel like he has been with us forever, and quite honestly...this month has not flown by. Granted, we had a rough start, but definitely can't imagine our lives without our baby boy.

From reading my friends blogs with little kiddos, they always document the changes they've seen, but being that Max is only 4 weeks old he has not done all that much. We do feel like he has grown a ton though, and is almost 11 pounds! He is VERY tall, so even though the doctor always jokes about his weight he still looks like a pretty skinny baby with chunky cheeks! He has out grown most all of his newborn clothes, and is busting at the seam in most of his onsies, however, his 0-3 month pants don't even tough his waist! He loves to push up and stand on our legs, loves to look around the room and watch the fan, he is in love with a glow in the dark, musical sea horse, has fun laying on the floor on his play mat and looking at himself in the mirror. Hmmm what else....he likes to snuggle, and would sleep on us all night if we would let him. He has acquired the nick name Grunterson because he is a serious grunter and is keeps his mommy up all night because she never knows if something is bother him or not. He is a serious eater, and would eat all day if I could let him.

Overall, he is a wonderful, snuggly little baby and we are beyond blessed to have him in our lives. I can't believe God chose us to be his parents-but we are going to take on this role with the best of our ability! We love him so much, and can't wait to watch him grow and change, but also want him to be a teeny baby forever.

Happy birthday Max!!
