I have some one month pictures I will upload later. I took was too many (surprise!) and still need to go through and edit them.
Here are some things he has been up to this month:
*I'm not sure how much he weighs today, but at his 2 week appointment he weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces and he seems to have gotten much heavier since then.
* He wears mostly gowns and some size 0-3 month clothing. The gowns are so nice and easy and look so comfy!
* He eats 3 oz. every 2-3 hours and sometime 4-5 hours at night. He hasn't breastfed since he was a week old, but I have been pumping so he still gets only breast milk.
* He HATES to be burped! He will cry and scream every time.
* He is not on any kind of schedule. He eats and sleeps whenever.
* At night, he usually goes to sleep between 11-1 and then gets up sometimes at 3-4 and sometimes sleeps until 6-6:30. We have some good nights and some bad nights, you just never know!
* He loves to be held and has since he was born. The first week, I slept with him in our big chair. Since then there have been a few nights I have slept with him in the chair. He falls asleep with us holding him and then we put him into the pack in play in our room or during the day I let him sleep on the changing pad, which he loves. Or we just hold him while he sleeps. I know we are spoiling him rotten, but I also know that this won't last forever, so I am just cherishing these sweet moments now.
* Right now, he loves to lay on his stomach and sleep on our chest or shoulder. It is so sweet!
* He is only fussy if he is hungry, has a dirty diaper, or is fighting his sleep. When he is hungry, he goes from being fussy to screaming in .2 seconds and the bottle warmer takes 3 and a half minutes. There is no consoling him during this time, he just screams- it's a long 3 and a half minutes! He has also been fighting is sleep lately. He will be so fussy and then just stop and pass out.
* He will take a pacifier if he is slightly fussy or trying to go to sleep, but he spits it out once he is calm or asleep. If he is really upset, he hates that you are trying to give him the pacifier.
* He can hold his head up really well.
* He loves getting a bath.
*He likes tummy time and laying on his play mat.
*When he is awake, he is so alert and cute. He just looks around and make some of the funniest faces.
*He likes to sleep with his hands up by his head. It is the cutest thing!
What a month this has been! I don't want to forget any of it! And I want to cherish every second!
Here are two pictures that I love. I want to remember these moments forever! Excuse my lack of makeup in the second one!
