Zane turned one month old today (Friday). The tears flowed, as I am very emotional and it's a big milestone. Sobbing will ensue when he rolls, sits up, crawls, walks etc. He's my last, I can't help it.
It's been a great first month, although we are fighting pink eye and thrush in the house. Max, Violette, and now Zane have all had thrush, but this is the first time I have had the very unpleasant experience along with the baby. He seems fine, puckering when given his medicine is the only complaint. I have successfully kept pink eye away from him!
As for Zane's personality, it seems to be starting to come through. He is awake for longer periods and has begun to give real social smiles. Not a lot of them, but a few here and there have been experienced. Along with smiles he has found a bit of his voice, cooing while awake. The chaos of his brother and sisters around him keeps him entertained and at times overwhelmed. They bounce back and forth trying to gain his attention. I feel like I have to put a steel cage around him to ensure safety. They all love to try to hug him and kiss him while I tell them to back off constantly. He's well loved, nothing wrong with that.
Zane is getting big and filling out. Breast milk does a baby good! His cheeks are getting very chubby and he is getting very long.
We are not lacking on sleep. Zane has a last feeding around 9pm and sleeps until about 3am. His next feeding happens when the other's get up. I can't complain about one night time feeding. I enjoy getting up with him and catching up with some shows on DVR as I lovingly nurse and cuddle him.
I look forward to the next month seeing Zane grow and develop. At the same time I want him to stay this little for a long time as I love the newborn stage so much.

He's growing too fast. Make sure he's still little when I meet him! I think the picture of Noelle with Zane looks like Charlotte.
