A Day of Milestones

Today is a day to remember...
It all started with Micah sleeping a little over 4 hours straight between a 5-hour feeding! That was special for me:) It may have helped that he was awake for almost 6 hours straight yesterday, totally wore himself out!
Then we had our 1 month check-up at the doctor where Micah got weighed and measured...he is up to 7 lbs 9 oz, a full 2 pounds more than when we took him home from the hospital exactly 1 month ago...just over an ounce a day!! And he is up to 20 inches...he won't fit in one arm for too much longer!
Micah has a little bit of a rash in the crease of his leg. Not too big of a deal, really, but he got his first prescription today!! Maybe not something to be excited about, but still a milestone of sorts.
Another milestone of today, though a sad one indeed, were tears. Micah has definitely cried before, he does have a set of lungs even though the majority of the time he is very chill. But today when he cried, his eyes actually watered up and a little bit of tear came out. It was SO sad. Though it is interested and intriguing how babies work and when things start happening, i don't suppose that any mother wants to ever see her child shedding tears!!
Definitely a day to remember....
