Four weeks old... tomorrow

So, does four weeks make a month? Or to call him a month old, do I need to wait until the 7th (since he was born on the 7th of last month)?

He is one month old, and he is thriving. I tell Rochelle that he is eating us out of house and home, but that doesn't really make any sense in this context I suppose. He has been a delight though. We have had a lot of fun with him. He is finally bigger than he was when he was born. He lost a pound in weight shortly after he was born. Although losing weight is normal, a pound was a bit much. We hypothesize that he was storing some water on him just like mommy was, and after he was born, he lost the excess. And for a little while, he didn't quite having the eating thing down. He wasn't quite sure how to get all of that going, and although he wasn't starving, he didn't gain quite a quickly as we would have hoped initially. However, as I said before, he is now thriving. He is gaining an ounce a day, and by my rough estimates, he is drinking a pound of milk a day. Rochelle feels at times that she barely finishes one feeding by the time he is ready for the next. But he sure is cute. We love him to bits. And it's a good thing too, because in our relative sleep deprived state we are in, who knows how we would take all the feedings, diapers, and the inexplicable way he seems to wake up every time we start to drift off. ;-) I don't think Rochelle and I have any complaints. He is a normal baby doing normal things, and yet we somehow feel like we have been blessed with the best baby there ever was. In short, we are proud and happy parents.
