I can't believe that you're already a month old! I said this with your sister, but time sure does fly! You've been such a fun and easy baby so far, we just need to get you sleeping in your crib! :) Your family adores you, especially your big sister. I can't wait to see how your bond with Elizabeth grows and develops over the upcoming months! Your Daddy and I are so looking forward to seeing your personality develop as you get older. Know that we'll always love you!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

| One Month Old! |
Weight: 8 pounds, 15 ounces (That's up 1 pound, 10 ounces from his 2 week check-up! Definitely puts me at ease with the whole breastfeeding, not knowing how much he's consuming thing!)
Length: 22 inches
Diaper size: Size 1 - We moved you from the newborn diapers to the size one diapers last week. They fit soo much better!
Teeth: Not yet!
Clothes size: You're wearing 0-3 and 3 month size clothes. You were in newborn clothes for only about 2 weeks - much different than your sister!
Sleep: You sleep a lot, unless you're in your crib... Most of the time you only sleep about 30-45 minutes at a time in your crib. If you're on someone, you'll sleep for hours! We're going to try a couple of new things (i.e. heating pad in the crrib while I'm feeding you and then taking it out before I put you back down, and a heartbeat sound machine) to see if that will help!
Favorite activities/things: Sleeping, wiggling, and eating. :)
Eating: You eat every 2-3 hours still. At night, you'll go 3-4 hours, but that's only if you have someone to help you sleep. ;)
Nicknames: Little Man
Talking: You're somewhat starting to "coo" at us. It's not very often, but I do know you've done it!
New adventures: Pretty much everything is a new adventure for you this month! We've nursed in public (I hate the covers), gone shopping, gone out to eat. You name it, we've probably done it. :)
New Skills: You hold your head up so well and turn it side to side. You've also rolled over 5 times in two days! You haven't done it since, though... So maybe it was a fluke.
Here are a couple more... Taken November 17, when he was actually awake. :)
He is so cute! I can't believe he's already a month old though, that doesn't seem right!!!
ReplyDeleteHenry wasn't great at sleeping in his crib either. We tried everything and really it just took some time. He pretty much napped in his swing at every nap until he was about 4 months old. We would try crib for a nap every few days and it never worked, and then one day suddenly it did!
It really was so much stressful for me when I stopped trying to read every book and try every thing and realize that he just needed some time and at some point he would sleep. Now he naps great!
