Our Little Chunk

Monty is now 1 month old and is getting so chunky and cute! We just love it! We went to St. George this last weekend and on our way back we were able to stop and see our friends Cole and Courtney Shakespear. They had a little baby girl, Bailey Rue, 3 days after Monty. Monty was born on her due date, but was 3 weeks early from his own. Baily was 3 days overdue.... Monty is HUGE next to her. We couldn't stop laughing, it was so cute!
We put them in diapers and Bailey's diaper overlaps her while Monty's is cutting off circulation. :-) 
He's pretty serious most of the time and can make you feel like an idiot with ease, but once in a while he gives us a little smile.
We really can't get enough of him.

He has inherited the 'sleep with one arm (sometimes both) up' gene..... This as far as we know comes from Grandpa Stevens, to J.D., and both Dawson and Monty do this.
We've definitely come to find that he is 'One cool Dude' as his shirt explains...
He doesn't just wear cool dude clothes, he expresses it as well...

either he is telling us he is cool or he is showing us 'blue steel or magnum' from zoolander.....

Dawson and him spend lots of time together! Dawson is so in tune with Monty and is such a HUGE help. He is always willing to hold him, and will watch him while I take a shower or clean the house. Dawson loves to play with him and move his arms around- seriously the cutest brotherly love I have ever seen. 
There is many days and times we all take naps together.
We are adjusting well and loving having a bigger family. Monty is doing great and is now 1 month old! time flies! However he constantly seems older than what he is by the way looks at you and his strength. He is remarkably strong and I often find him further up in the crib than where I place him because he scoots in his sleep. He can hold his head up so well and tries to stand on my tummy when I am holding him on my chest. He is finally getting rid of this jaundice, but has a little cold. The kid can't catch a break since he's come into this world. He is starting to figure out his nights and days, as well as the idea that he needs to go back to sleep after feeding at night. He is becoming really vocal and picky about where he sleeps and wanting attention. We just love this little guy!
