Judah Beau | One Month

Thursday, February 4, 2016


I can't believe it has already been a month since the doctors laid Judah on my chest. I think I will probably be saying that every month/year for the rest of his life. Everyone tells you that it goes by so fast, and wow, it really does. I wish I could slow down time! 


At one month, Judah...

...weighs 8lbs 12oz

...is 22 inches long

...is still wearing some newborn clothes with a few 0-3 month onesies and jammies thrown into the mix. :)

...is going through his last box of newborn diapers then we will move him up to 1's.

...is becoming such a little chub in his face, cheeks and his belly is slowly getting bigger. #ilovethechub
...sleeps a lot still during the day. For a couple of hours in the morning and late afternoon/evening he is awake and such a happy boy! He has also been sleeping through the night a couple of times! 

...loves sleeping in Momma and Daddy's arms or curled up on our chest. 
...hates to be swaddled and isn't a big fan of having blankets cover up his legs because he just wants to kick and kick!

...is feeding every 2-3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night. He also held his own bottle for the first time this month! Not a regular thing but it sure was cute. :)
...loves his swing!

...sleeps with his hands straight up in the air sometimes. We call it his "praise hands" :)
...has lots of nicknames. Momma calls him "bubbas", Daddy calls him "buddy", and everyone else calls him BoBo, JB, and J Beau.

...loves his carseat and car rides! He doesn't make a peep and is usually asleep within minutes of being in the car.

...has crazy good head/neck strength. He has been holding his little head up since the doctors laid him on my chest. :)

...looked like Momma's twin whenever he was born, but I think he is looking more and more like Daddy every day!

...loves his hair being washed and brushed, but hates his body being washed.

...has a best friend and his name is Luke the Lion, his WubbaNub. He snuggles with him when he sleeps.
...is still co-sleeping and we all love it. :)

...loves church! The loud music doesn't phase him at all. Here's a picture of Judah from every Sunday this month. Check my hashtag #JudahsSundayBest on Instagram to keep up :)
...eyes are still dark, but they look like they may turn green or blue! 

...is starting to lose some hair on the top of his head, and his hair is still dark and kind of red in the sunlight.

...has a birthmark on the back of his neck.

...has blonde eyebrows, so we are hoping his hair will be blonde too. :)

...loves to smile in his sleep. :)
...has gone on his first road trip to see family and he was a champ! 
...had his first visit to The Magnolia Market!
...is by far the biggest blessing to Blake and I. We love him more than we ever thought we could.
We thank God for you every day, sweet boy. We can't wait to see what the next month brings!

Welcome to the World, Judah Beau!

Long time, no see, sweet friends! Life has been busy and so good! Our little man made his arrival January 4th at 5am and we have been loving every single second of having him here with us. I'm so looking forward to getting back into blogging regularly and I hope you guys will stick around and keep up with our fun family adventures! 

Rewind to a week ago...

After 31 hours of labor, our sweet Judah Beau finally made his arrival. He was 8lbs 2oz and 21 inches long! He immediately stole our hearts and we are so in love with him. 
Our first picture as a family of 3! 
Sweet boy loves his daddy! 
Our first night with Judah went so well. The black and white picture is from our first 3am wake up call from our little guy. He was hungry and after he ate he was so content in his daddy's arms!
We were discharged from the hospital a day early! We could not wait to get our little guy home!
This picture is from our first night at home with Judah. He sleeps just like his daddy! (I now have a million pictures of them sleeping with their mouths wide open, sorry Blake :)
We had our first pediatrician appointment the day after we left the hospital and Judah did not enjoy it! Good thing daddy was there to keep him calm :)
We are so in love with our little guy!
Judah had his first bath with momma and daddy this past week. He loved having his hair washed but hated his body being washed! Look at that wrinkly baby butt...I just love it :)
Another pediatrician visit, poor guy doesn't like going to the doctor!
Baby's first HEB trip! 
And another picture because he's just too cute :)
Saturday we had a fun day with family in town to meet Judah! He was worn out from being held and loved on all day :)
This picture makes this momma so happy! Judah was having trouble eating enough and keeping up his weight (hints all the pediatrician visits) and now sweet boy has been eating like a champ and his weight is back up! God is so good :)
Baby boy love his sleep and snuggles :)
I screens hotted this off of Blake's Snapchat because it is so true! This is our life now and we absolutely love it :)
Side note: Judah is a week old and has been to Target twice...starting him young :)
Judah's first Sunday at church! He slept through the whole service :)

Now little man is a week old and I already want time to slow down. I love this little family of mine that God has blessed me with and I finally feel like I'm doing what The Lord has created me to do, be a wife and a momma! My heart is so full. We love you more than you know, Judah Beau!
