Theo was one month old on Sunday 10th October and has changed so much in that short time. He actually gave us the first real smiles on that day and is now much more alert when he is awake, taking in his surroundings. In fact he seems to get quite fixated on certain things for some minutes, like pictures on the wall or the aquarium. He still enjoys his daily bath a great deal...so much that he can kick up a bit when taken out! He has also become much more responsive to us, watching us and obviously enjoying or taking comfort from company.
He is putting on weight steadily and was about 5 ounces over birth weight when the health visitor came last week. He seems very healthy and she commented that his responsiveness is certainly higher than usual. He can be a bit of a monkey to settle sometimes before midnight or even 1 am and eats Gabi to death in the evenings, but often sleeps for 3 hours or so between feeds overnight. Its a bit tiring of course but we have no cause for complaint at all. its just so good to see him doing well.
For the camera geeks, all shots taken on my Nikon D700 with 50mm F1.4G lens and combining ambient light with directional bounced flash from SB800.

| Bath time is great. He even gets excited when he hears the taps running! |
 |
| Coming out isn't so great but he usually calms down after he is dried off a bit |
 |
| Sometimes we need to see grown-up hands to remind us how small he still is! |
 |
| How about shaking hands with Dad? |
 |
| I have been on planet Earth exactly one month and its quite nice as my Mum worships me! |
 |
| I still pull some very funny faces though! |
