Jonathan eats well and sleeps pretty well. At his one month visit, he weighed 11 pounds 14 ounces and was 22 inches long. He has lots of little fat rolls all over his body. He goes for 3-4 hour stretches at night. I cherish the times that he wakes to nurse in the middle of the night. Even though I am tired, I know this time with him as a newborn is going so quickly. I don't want to wish it away.
Jonathan has a bit of a temper - much more than Trey did. But he doesn't stay mad for long. This picture was taken while I was getting him dressed after his bath. Some nights he cries after his bath and some nights he just lays there and studies me with an intent look. He doesn't cry for diaper changes anymore. We are still cloth diapering and are very happy with our decision. We have bought some more cloth diapers but haven't bought any disposable diapers. We do a load of diaper laundry every 3-4 days, so it hasn't been that much more work than disposables.
We bought Jonathan a swing, and he really likes it. We didn't buy one for Trey - we had borrowed one from a friend. The swing has been good because Jonathan likes to be held a lot. I love holding him, and I have carried him quite a bit in my Moby wrap when I go out or even around the house doing work. Trey likes to walk up to Jonathan and try to climb in the swing with him. The most exhausting part of having two little ones is trying to keep Trey from unintentionally hurting Jonathan. He doesn't understand that Jonathan doesn't want to be climbed on. Like I said, Trey is getting more gentle each day with Jonathan. We couldn't be happier with our two little boys and want to raise them to be good friends.
