1 month!

So little guy has reached 1 month! It was actually on Wednesday but I was tired. I did remember to take pictures of him wearing his little shirt. As you can see it is rather large - hopefully it lasts his entire first year.

He now weighs 11lbs 6oz and is 22.5 inches long; at his second appointment (9 days) he was 8lbs 12oz and 21.25. The doctor is very pleased with his growth. At one month, he enjoys:

Eating (obviously)

Tummy time on Daddy (we say he is climbing Mt Daddy because he wiggles his way up)

Snuggling with people, especially Mommy and Daddy

Music, singing voices

Watching people

Napping (he puts one arm up near his face when napping)

He has discovered:

Giggling and making noises make Mommy and Daddy talk to him

Hands to suck on

I must admit I am a little surprised at how much he has changed in a single month. He is definitely starting to get the chubby baby look to him. He makes more noises and they are usually not crying related. He still has his very angry cry and it is definitely louder than before. He has some decent lungs. He is over swaddling - not that he was a huge fan before. Tummy time on the floor is not as fun as it is on Daddy but we're getting longer stretches in. I love watching him change and grow every day. It will be interesting to see how he grows in the next month.
