1 Month

img_6012What a first month – James got to celebrate his first christmas, first new years and first bridal shower – all of which he slept through.

Weight: 8lbs 7oz (38th percentile)
Length: 21 1/2in (9th percentile)
 
 Sleep: James takes after his big sisters in the sleep department! He sleeps so well! He has slept through the night a few times. I consider 6-7hrs of sleep through the night! It is amazing how much more human you feel once you stop waking up every 2-3 hours!

Eating:  Considering a month ago James was being fed through a feeding tube I would say we are doing pretty good! He gets a combination of newborn formula and breastmilk. We are not breastfeeding because of the issues he had a birth. I started pumping while in the hospital and we’ve just stuck with that. It is working well for us but I think we will be shifting to formula only in the next month or 2.
Diapers: Size 1’s! We used our 2 packs of newborns and then jumped up to the 1s. It is just easier to use the ones that are a little bigger and he has more room to move in instead of a tiny diaper and it being tight around his little waist.
Clothes: I think it is fairly obvious that our children are not massive. James is wearing newborn size clothing and will not be wearing bigger sizes anytime soon.
Mood: I would say happy most of the time! He really only cries when he is hungry or he peed! He hates a wet diaper! 
Loves:
  • When Madison and Beth sing to him
  • Being in the carseat
  • Long car rides & walks – he falls asleep
  • Being walked around
  • Cuddles
Hates:
  • Being hungry
  • Baths 😦
  • Being wet .. cries over the tinniest amount of pee in his diaper.
