One Month Old

Well we went to the doctor for Charlie's one month appointment yesterday and he tipped the scales at a WHOPPING 10 lbs 2 oz! He jumped from the 25th percentile at 1 week (6 lbs 12 oz) to the 75th percentile in length and 70th in weight...I couldn't believe it. I guess his nickname of "chubby bunny" is appropriate. The past few nights he hasn't been sleeping as well; wanting to feed every 2 hours and now that I know how much weight he has gained, I'm going to do my best to spread out those feedings. He was sleeping so well in the beginning!!! We're hoping to return to that...

At one month, his favorite "toy" is the bouncy seat that we got as a hand-me-down from Scott's coworker (with the vibration on). He has only had a few naps in his real crib since he sleeps in the "newborn napper" of the pack-n-play. He's still in newborn diapers but we're using up the last few and then switching up. He loves laying on Scott's stomach for tummy time and has excellent head control. We're pushing the pacifier (so he can soothe between feedings!) but he has a tough time keeping it in. He's been out to lunch and dinner several times (most of which he slept through), he visited grandpa at the office yesterday, we went plant shopping at Lowes (he was in his sling) and we go for daily walks with Lexie and the awesome BOB stroller...I couldn't survive my maternity leave without it. He still has blue eyes...and blond hair. A mini-Scott. This picture is completely unflattering but I just couldn't resist, look at his belly!!! Scott said "now people will be able to see the resemblance between me and Charlie" haha.
