On Tuesday, October 4th Charlie turned one month old. It is unbelievable how time just flies by. During August and basically after we hit the 30th week of pregnancy time started to move like molasses. Before that my pregnancy flew by. Again, time is moving at a ridiculous speed. Our boy is growing so big. We haven't officially weighed him or taken his length, but of course like giddy kids we jump on the scale and measure him with a tape measurer. Clearly, we are first time parents. From this mornings weigh in Charlie is about 10.2 lbs and is 22" long. We go back to the doctor on the 19th and will have official stats then.
Changes in the last month:
- more alert & awake time
- his eyes follow objects
- he makes eye contact with us
- lifts his head when on stomach-did this since day two-strong boy!
- still confused about days and nights
- during the day waking or being woken every three hours to nurse
- at night fusses quite a bit/produces lots of saliva, sometimes sleeps 4 hours or 5 minutes
- Mumford & Sons-we decided Timshel is our song for Charlie
- Jason Mraz-always a favorite
- Daddy sings baby beluga/other random goodies-we have trouble remembering nursery rhymes or kids songs at this point
- bath
- walking
- tummy time
- singing and reading-loves Hello, Bugs!
- laying on the play mat and looking around
- sleeping in the Moby Wrap or in the basinett
- meeting & greeting the many visitors
