Giulio is One Month Old!!

Can you believe how quickly time is passing and how much Giulio is growing?  I certainly cannot.

Today Giulio is one month old.  He weighs 10 lbs 4 oz (4.65 kg) and eats like a little piglet.  We measured him to be about 22.5 inches (57 cm).  He's long and skinny!

Newborn and one month old clothes are too small for him.  He's filling out the 3 month size now.  I shed a tear when I put away the outfits Giulio first wore at the hospital.  He's changing so quickly.

Well, one month old and Giulio still hates baths.  Hopefully he'll learn to like water because I ordered 2 swim diapers for him to use this summer at Ruffia.

From Giulio James
He likes warm towels and snuggles after bath time though!

We celebrated Giulio's first Easter.  Nonna gave him an Easter egg as big as he is! 

From Giulio James
As big as he is, as much as he's grown, he still scrunches up like a little ball in my arms.  So sweet!

This month we're looking forward to meeting Aunt Laura & Uncle Chris, celebrating Mommy's 30th birthday and going to more brew pubs!

Giulio's Third Week

From the Baby Bjorn Cam!
From Giulio James

The little man is 3 weeks old and he's getting bigger.  It's hard for me to see it because he hardly ever leaves my sight, but my arms feel that he's heavier, and his newborn clothes have become too short for his long legs!

Screaming and crying for bath time

This week Giulio had his first bath, which he hated.  He screamed and cried the whole time, but he really loved the warm towel part at the end.  We'll be trying that again this weekend and hopefully he'll start liking it more.  He is a pisces after all!

Warm towel and a pacifier makes Giulio feel better!

Yesterday we took Giulio to his first appointment with the pediatrician.  She's a weirdo, but I'm sure she'll be fine.  She's a block away from our house, so you can't get more convenient than that!

Last weekend we took Giulio to the Saluzzo market for the first time and applied for his Italian passport while we were out.  He slept the whole time; what a great kid!

Then on Sunday we went to Ruffia to visit Giulio's puppy, Olney.  We also saw Nonna & Nonno, Zia Giovanna & Zio Paolo!
