1 month BABY!

I can't believe that one whole month has already gone by since Tyson joined our little family.  Life with two kids has been crazy but I haven't felt the full force of it yet because my parents are still here helping us out.  Thank goodness for them!  Between having a new baby AND moving into a new house it has been a crazy month.  I don't think I would have made it through without my parents assistance.  I have mixed feelings about them leaving (Monday).  I'm sad because it has been awesome having them around not only because they help me out so much but also because its so fun seeing them with Sadie.  She loves her Grandma and Grandpa (Tama & Tampa).  There will be a very sad girl here on Tuesday morning when she wakes up and realizes that they are gone.  Even now when they go over to the new house to paint she stares out the window and says "Where Tampa go?" "Tampa WAIT" "Tampa WAIT!!"  But as nice as it is to have them here it'll be good for life to have some kind of routine again.  To be able to feed the baby in the front room without worrying about my Dad seeing something that no dad should ever see.  Also it feels like forever since I've seen any of my friends.  Sadie is suffering from the lack of socialization.  She never had a problem in nursery before but now she cries the whole time.  So it'll be nice for both of us to have play dates again.  I think my parents are ready to go home too.  They have been sleeping on an air mattress for a month!  Anyways here are some things about my little guy at 1 month:

-He loves his sleep, I usually only have to get up with him twice during the night and he normally goes right back to sleep after he eats.  Every now and then we'll have a bad night but I consider myself VERY lucky to be getting the sleep that I'm getting.
-His sneezes are HUGE.  I hope to be able to record one someday because they are so cute.  I jump so high when he sneezes because it scares me that something so loud can come out of someone so little.
-His acne cleared up over night.  Last night he went to bed with a face full of baby zits and today he woke up with nice clear cheeks
-He's plumping up nicely.  He doesn't have half as many rolls as Sadie did but he is becoming nice and chunky.
-Sadly his hair is lightening up.  I was hoping it would stay dark but I'm thinking he'll probably go blonde like Sadie.  Too bad!
-He loves his head rubbed.  You touch his head and instantly his eyes roll back in his head.
-He loves the bath
-He loves tummy time.  Unlike his sister who used to cry whenever we put her on her stomach.  He could stay on his stomach all day long.
-He grunts like a goat
-His sister adores him.  If it even seems like he's getting sad she runs and grabs him a binky.  When we drive in the car she looks over at him and says "Oh Ty" and giggles.  She likes to tickle him and give him lots of kisses.  She has made up several songs to cheer him up.  One says "Tyson Tyson sad"  and of course "Tyson Tyson happy"

With Sadie I tried to take a picture everyday to document her first year.  I've been debating whether to do this with him.  Any thoughts?
