Our sweet boy turned one month old on Sunday! We celebrated by taking him to church for the first time. He did great through Sunday School, but only lasted about two songs in big church before he was done.
Here is what Cason has been up to this month:
-Weighed 7 lbs 13 oz at his two week check up and was 20 1/4 inches long
-We graduated from newborn to size 1 diapers last week. We prefer Pampers Swaddlers.
-He is the most hot-natured baby I have ever seen! He hates wearing hats or thick clothing and will almost always kick his socks off.
-He started cooing this week and ‘talking’ to his play mat.
-He LOVES to be held. It’s his favorite. I’ve learned to use my Moby Wrap at work so I can actually get things done. We have started a bad habit at night of letting him sleep with us. He will be completely knocked out and as soon as you put him down, he wakes up and cries. But if you cuddle him in the bed, he falls fast asleep. It’s the only way we are getting any sleep at this point…
-When he lets you put him down, he loves his play mat. He also likes to swing, but only for short periods of time.
-He eats anywhere from 2-3 ounces of formula every 2-3 hours during the day and 2-4 ounces every 2-4 hours at night. I was able to breastfeed for about a week, then we switched to Enfamil Newborn formula. So far, he does well with it. He is a pretty gassy baby and is hard to burp, at least for me! But gas drops and lots of patting/rubbing usually help.
-He still has a head full of brown hair, but it has lightened up a bit since he was born. I still can’t tell what color his eyes will be. Some days they look blue, other days brown or green. I have green and Brad and Noah have brown…so I’m guessing his will eventually turn brown, too.
-He loves taking a bath! It relaxes him and will always make him happy!
-He is wearing newborn size clothing and is starting to fill them out more.
-I have to cut his fingernails about every three days. They grow so fast! And he has the longest fingers and toes that I have ever seen on a baby! He got that from his Mommy!
-He loves to look out the window and at “The Catch” picture we have in our living room.
-Big brother Noah absolutely LOVES him. He asks to hold him often and LOVES when Cason’s eyes are open.
We love Cason so so so much. He is the perfect little addition to our family!
