Our One Month Old

... weighs 9 lbs 3 oz now (gained almost 3 lbs since leaving the hospital)

... gets about 28 kisses a day from his big sister


... sucks on his arm when I won't give him a pacifier or anything else to suck on

... eats every 2 hours, pretty consistently, except when he cluster feeds

... still sleeps A LOT!  He's only awake a couple hours a day, though it's getting tougher and tougher to get him to go to sleep... following in his sisters footsteps.

... is good about eating and going right back to bed at night, making easier nights for mom

... doesn't usually scream during diaper changes, sometimes, but it's not the norm

... sleeps in his cradle upstairs and the pack n play downstairs, for safety's sake


... is still jaundice in his face, poor guy.

... grunts/strains all the time...doesn't appear to stopping  any time soon

... is scared of his sister...looks horrified half the time


...has only been to the park, the doctors office, the airport and to Target (once) because mom's scared to go out with both of the kids (for good reason).

... is already getting his baths every other night, in the bathtub.  As soon as the umbilical cord and circumcision were healed Eric whipped that tub out.


... can sleep through his sisters screaming, if he's really asleep.  If he's just fallen asleep, it wakes him up then it's hard to get him back down.

... is a spitter, just like Kayla.  But this time I know why and I'm not so freaked out by it.  Just change my shirt a couple times a day.  :-)

... practices tummy time with his big sister!


... has spent some time in the mei tai wrap that G.G. made... but if he falls asleep in there I have to leave him in there until he wakes up because if I take him out he'll wake up.



... is growing up in a loud, chaotic household and will soon need to learn how to defend himself.

... is a loved addition to our family.
