We can't believe it has already been 4 weeks since Shai came into this world. Coincidentally, Shai's 4 week birthday was his actual due date. Shai started out very very different than Oden. Not only did he have lighter hair and not look a lick Asian, he also slept pretty well (sometimes > 22 hrs/day), didn't mind the car seat at all (Oden stressfully screamed his first 6 months), and prefers sleeping on his back (Oden was a tummy sleeper, and slept horribly on his back).
Shai has had lots of changes during these 4 weeks. Just the last couple days he has been awake and alert for ~ 4hrs/day. He has grown out of his newborn diapers, and tipped the scales at 9 lbs at the 1 month well baby visit (20.5" long). All of his stats from the well baby visit put him at the 25 percentile for 4 wk old babies - not bad for being 4 wks behind from the start! Shai is still waking up every 2-3 hrs to nurse at night, but he is getting close to 4hrs during the day sometimes. Shai's neck control is also getting pretty good (as you can see from the video below).
Oden is still smitten with his little brother, and shows him lots of love and affection. Oden was born to be a big brother, that's for sure.

Ny gorgeous grandsome grandson Sheil, I have so missed not being able to have that bond that only grandma's have, but I will see you. Oden I am so proud of the way you help Mommy and Daddy take care of Shai. Your best brother ever. See you soon. Love Grandma R
Dear Mommy, Daddy and Baby Shei - I just saw your 1 month video. What a handsome young man you are and so strong. I believe Oden had that serious look that you have - just like he was learning all about his family. See you soon sweetheart. Love Grandma R
