We had his one month checkup today and he is doing great. He is up to 11 pounds 11 ounces and 22.5 inches. That means he has gained over 3 pounds and grew 3 inches. So crazy how quickly they grow! It also means we have no issues in the breastfeeding department! He does have an umbilical hernia (you can see by the way his belly button sticks out). The doctor said these usually heal on their own, otherwise surgery may be necessary when he is around 2. It doesn't seem to bother him though.
He is a good baby, but definitely has his fussy time at night from about 6 until bedtime.
He has been going to sleep around 9:30 and as of the last 3 nights has been sleeping for a 6 hour stretch. He wakes up for a diaper change and to eat and then goes right back down for another 3 hours or so. Prior to the 6 hour stretch, he was waking up every 3-4 hours but going right back down after eating. We have been very lucky as far as sleep goes!
Unfortunately, he is not the best traveler. Ty is really not a fan of his carseat. We have had some long car rides and some not so great shopping trips...hopefully he starts enjoying traveling a little bit more.
We are still working on getting some smiles from him. He is Captain Serious!
He recognizes my voice and I swear he can smell me when I walk into the room :) Definitely a momma's boy right now! And he has found my hair!
He is starting to make some cooing sounds and is very alert during his awake periods!
He naps great in his swing, but is not a fan of his bouncer.
Ty is super strong. He has great head control already and is always pushing up on us with his legs.
He has been the perfect addition to our family and is so loved by all of us!
