Stats--
- Height: 23.25 inches
- Weight: 11 lbs 4 oz
- Eyes: Blue! They haven't changed and I'm thinking they are going to stay. They are a dark, grayish blue. Beautiful!

What's New:
I thought Mav had a lot of smiles last month. HOLY COW! This kid could melt the iciest heart with his little toothless grin. His one dimple is SOO CUTE. He's starting to get a dimple on the other side.

He babbles, coos, and has whole conversations with us. There is even an occasional laugh in there. I feel like every day we hear new noises.
Maverick can hold himself up on his stomach and lift his chest off the ground. He rolls over from his belly to his back. This is mostly courtesy of gravity, but he does it consistently and leans while kicking his leg over to get started.
Things He Loves:
-Logan the Lion (a hanging lion that sings and lights up) He just lays and stares at it forever.
-Channel 1106 ... well I should just say TV in general. He is totally mesmerized by it. He watches sports with his daddy and cartoons with his grandma and I.
Feeding: I've been nursing in public like crazy. I don't care where we are...I just put him on and he's a happy camper. He still nurses on one side each feeding except for occasionally at night. He hit a growth spurt and was nursing like crazy the last couple of days. He takes bottles like a champ when daddy, Naura, and Grandma Ally watch him during the day. He is currently eating 3.5-5oz every 3-3.5 hours. Sleeping: I really lucked out. Maverick definitely takes after his daddy! He goes down between 8 and 9pm and then sleeps for anywhere from 5-7 hours. Then he wakes up feeds and goes back down for another 2.5-3 hours. During the day he takes 3 naps. They usually last for about an hour, but sometimes we get lucky and get a 2 hour nap! He gets swaddled when he sleeps still, but wiggles out by the time he wakes up.
Best thing this month: Getting to learn his personality and listening to him babble. I know this will continue to get more and more prevalent, but it's been so fun so far!! Also the longer sleeping is AMAZING.
Worst thing this month: Hands down...going back to work. SUCKS. I hate pumping. I get so busy and work or I don't want to stop what I'm doing to go find a closet, bathroom, office and pump for 30 minutes. Blah. But I love being able to give Maverick the very best, so I don't mind.
