One Month

Age:  1 month old!

Weight: 10.4 pounds

Height:  23 inches

Favorite activity: Eating or sleeping...though you get a kick out of watching the ceiling fan.


Honorable mentions: Staring with rapt attention at the ceiling fan.

Least favorite activity:  Burping, Lord how you hate it when we take the food away.

Milestones:  You are holding your head up quite well.  Sometimes you still look like a bobble head, but we're constantly amazed at how strong you are!
No more baby bobblehead!
Words: none

Sleep:  2-3 hours at a time with increased wakefulness during the day

Best Moment: Taking you to the faculty Christmas party where you were ooo'd and ahhh'd over appropriately.

Worst Moment: The night you wailed (not cried, the angry scream that you do when you're ticked) for 2 hours.

Eating:  You are thriving on formula and while me not being able to breastfeed you breaks my heart every day, it's getting a little easier.  A lot because I've put away/gotten rid of any and all reminders of how my body let us both down.  I know it's not the best way of coping, but right now, I just need those things to go away.

You take about 2 ounces at every feeding.  Sometimes, though, I swear you have a hollow leg because you'll do two or three 2 ounce bottles in two or three hours!

Teeth: None, but your front teeth look like they might pop out at any time.  They've looked like that since you were born.
Even the nurses in the hospital commented on your "teeth."
We love you to the Moon and back, buddy.  We can't wait to see what the next month brings.
