One Month Old

I'm one month old today. Mom can hardly believe a month has passed already but I can. I'm really starting to get the hang of this being a baby outside the belly.

I sure have been growing - probably because I love to eat. Mom said yesterday she felt like all she did was feed me. I'm eating 3 1/2 ounces every 2 - 4 hours depending on the time of day. During the day I eat every 2-3 hours and at night every 3-4 hours.

Mom and Dad just started giving me a new kind of formula to try. Last night was my first night with it. It's Similac Sensitive for sensitive tummies. For the most part I was doing fine on the regular Similac but I would have a gurgly belly, some stinky toots and sometimes runny stools in my diapers. My pediatrician said if the runny stools were happening more often to try the Sensitive formula - so we are.

I love my pacifier, my baby swing and I'm starting to like my bouncy seat and play mat more and more.

When I was about 2 weeks old Mom and Dad could tell my eye sight sharpened up and they say it seems I can see pretty well already. I focus on faces, ceiling fans and toys on my play mat.

Some of my newborn size clothes are starting to get small already. I guess that means I'm going to getting a new wardrobe soon!

I love bath time. It relaxes me and like Mom says, "I melt in there."

I started sleeping in my crib last night for the first time. I tried it out at nap time the two days before but last night was my first night sleeping in there. I've been sleeping in a bassinet in my own room for the last few weeks. I started out in Mom and Dad's room but I didn't seem to like their room so they moved me into my own room. I like it better there.

I am a pretty good little traveler. I like riding in the car. It usually puts me right to sleep.

At first I didn't like to put down. I wanted to be held a lot. If I was laid down in my bed my eyes would pop open a lot of the time. In the last month I've gotten a lot more comfortable being laid down in my bed and even when I'm awake. I still like to snuggle in and be held but I also like to kick and have some time to myself once in awhile.

The first month of life has treated me well. Can't wait to see what the next month has in store for me.

Mom said we're going to take my picture with this doll each month to watch how I grow. 

I like to bend my little toes over like this. 

And stretch them out like this.
