Hux is how big?

When you are with a baby every day, it is hard to recognize how much he has grown in a month. But the other day, I tried to dress him in an outfit that he wore the first week, and it was way too small. The outfit comes with a hat, so here are some pictures of Hux in the hat the first week home and another taken this week.

We thought it was time to take a few family portraits too. I tried to get one with Hux smiling. He has such a  cute smile. But at least I got one with his bright eyes facing the camera.

One of the challenges these days is to get Hux to be happy when he is not being held. Of course, with me around, eager to hold him at every available moment, it is hard to go through the training process of letting him fuss a bit. He has a hard time falling asleep and seems to really need to find his thumb so he can sooth himself with sucking a finger or his fist (which he keeps putting in his mouth). Katherine has also been considering the pros and cons of giving him a pacifier. I looked for one at the pharmacy today, but they are completely sold out.
