Weight/size: You weighed 7lbs 12oz at your one month doctor
appointment. You are wearing newborn size diapers and newborn clothes. Some of
your newborn clothes are still too big!
Sleep: You sleep most of the day, but you really love to
fall asleep in someone’s arms. You refuse to lay in your crib until midnight every night. You fall asleep every time
we go for a car ride.
Movement: You are a very active baby, which doesn’t surprise
me since you were always kicking and
moving in my stomach! You have been lifting your head up since day one.
Sometimes your hands and feet get out of control and we have to swaddle you to
settle you down. You move yourself from your stomach to your back when we set
you on your boppy pillow.
Communication: You don’t make too much noise, unless you are
crying. You have the saddest little cry that goes along with the cutest frown.
Your daddy is going to have a tough time saying no to you in the future! You
stomp your feet when you are angry or gassy. I can’t believe how much attitude
you already have!
Food: You nursed every 3 hours for the first 2 or 3 weeks,
and then you went on a growth spurt and wanted to eat at random times closer
together. You wore mommy out! You love nursing but you will also chug an entire
bottle in less than 2 minutes! I can’t wait to see those chubby cheeks grow!
Mood: You are a very alert baby. When you are awake you just
stare at everything and everyone. You always seem so content. But when you have
a tummy ache, you are not a happy baby. You scream and cry until it passes. I
can’t wait until you start smiling!
Medicine: We give you mylicon drops every feeding since you
are having problems with your tummy. You love the taste of these drops and stop
crying almost immediately after we give them to you. You get eye drops in your
right eye because your tear ducts are too small and your eye gets crusty. You
also get a multi-vitamin with Iron, which you hate the taste of.
Sweet remembrances:
- Daddy put your first diaper on at the hospital
- We brought you home from the hospital on Father's Day
- Daddy and Nana gave you your first bath
- You had your Hebrew baby naming on July 7th
Likes: Being swaddled, laying chest to chest, being held upright,
laying on your tummy, all music, vibrations, taking a warm bath, swinging in
your baby swing
Dislikes: Dislikes: being gassy, when your pacifier falls out, being
strapped into your car seat
Mommy’s mental health: The first night we brought you home
from the hospital, I was set on putting you in your crib in your own room to
sleep. I did not know how hard that was going to be for me. You had no problem
sleeping in your crib but mommy had a mental breakdown. I was so scared to
leave your side. I’ve never felt a love so strong. I cried all night because I
didn’t want anything to happen to you. I apologize in advance if I am over
protective, but you will understand one day when you become a mother. You look so much like your daddy. I can
stare at you all day. I feel so blessed that
you were given to me.
