Dear Andrew,
You are officially one whole month old! I can’t believe it! My how time flies. It feels like you have been with us for
forever already. You fit in just
perfectly. Things are mostly the same
from your two-week update except you’ve just gotten bigger.
We had our first big outing as a family of four… we went to
a pumpkin patch. You did
wonderfully. We got some pictures of you
with big brother and mom & dad. You
slept most of the time and when you were awake you enjoyed just looking around
at all the action. Mom has also been
getting out of the house with you… we’ve been to Target, the mall, Hobby Lobby,
Kroger, Babies R Us and to pick big brother up from school.
Parker loves seeing you in the morning and still always
wants to give you a hug and a kiss all the time. The rest of us could be chopped liver, but
not you. He also likes to help you do
tummy time… he gets excited when he can “play” with you. Parker will still give you his elephant, but
maybe not as much as before… he takes it back a lot quicker now. But, it’s still pretty special that he gives
it you. You guys are going to have so
much together soon!
You are doing a wonderful job at sleeping at night time, but
you maybe require a little more work to get to sleep. You have a certain point that if you exceed
that time... it’s hard to get you to sleep and then you won’t sleep very long,
either. You love to be bounced and you
also LOVE, LOVE the blanket Grandma Kathleen got you…. It’s all warm and
fuzzy. Nevermind that it’s still 85
degrees here, you are basically sleeping with a winter blanket. You love to be warm. You aren’t soothing yourself to sleep as much…
it requires some work from mom & dad.
You still sleep in the rock n’ play and I’ve moved the rock n’ play to
your room during the day so you can start to get used to the new environment. We’ll be working on transitioning to the crib
very soon!
You also like to be outside.
You and I will sit outside and just hangout. I think you like to hear the wind/leaves and
listen to our water feature. We go on
walks with big brother and you like to just watch him run around.
We take a bath every night and you still love the warm
water. You SOMETIMES take a pacifier---
I’m not sure if you really like it or not.
I’ve seen you suck on your thumb, too.
We’re so glad you’re hear and look forward to watching you
grow into your personality! At one month
you:
- Have put on some weight! You are somewhere around 8lbs and still wear newborn clothes.
- Drink about 3 oz at every feeding. The first feeding in the morning you will drink 4 oz and then at night you will drink a little more, too.
- Sleep from about 10-7 consistently now. Of course, now that I’ve typed that it probably won’t be consistent any longer. Hehe.
- Poop 1-2x a day and wear size 1 diapers
- Love to be bounced and rocked.
- Love watching big brother run around and jump on the trampoline.
- Do very well in the car… it puts you to sleep very quickly. But, you like to be moving in it. You aren’t really a fan of the car seat if it’s not going anywhere.
- Nap about 1-2 hours at a time.
- Don’t mind tummy time as long as your stomach is full.
- Doing a great job of holding your head up and you will turn your head from side to side while on your tummy.
- Like to lay on mommy.
