Keaton's First Month

Wow! I cannot believe it has already been a month! Between the hospital stay, family and friends visiting, my finals, Dan leaving for interviews, and traveling for Christmas I have not had a chance to update this blog much. So, as my parents and sisters all beg for time with the baby I decided to take the chance to post some pictures.
Keaton is a sweet sweet baby. He only cries when he's hungry (or sometimes if he has a tummy ache). We went in for his 1 month appointment last week and he is now 10 lbs, 2 oz, 50th percentile. He has already started smiling at 5 1/2 weeks. We're now entertained by talking to him in funny voices and waiting for his reaction. He seems to love his photoshoots and sits for many many minutes in front of my big lens posing. He loves to lay on the couch and do "tummy time" on mommy or daddy's chest. His constant kicking proves challenging when changing and diapering. He LOVES the bath. He loves laying in his crib and cooing at his mobile. He is just so happy and content and is such a joy to us!
Dan and I already can't imagine what our life was like before he came around. We must have had so much time on our hands!!! We are loving every single minute of him. Even though I desperately want time to slow down, every stage seems to be even better than the last! Below is a month in review of pictures:
