One Month

It’s hard to believe that our little boy is one month old! We are having so much fun with Lee. He is such a joy and blessing to us. Here are a few facts about Lee at one month.

Weight: 8 lbs. 13 oz. We were a little astonished by the fact that Lee gained 2 lbs in two weeks (the doctor was surprised too). What can I say, the boy likes to eat!

Clothing: Still wearing newborn onesies and diapers.

Feeding: Breastfeeding every three hours…pretty much on the dot. Lee likes his schedule. He just might be type A like his mommy and daddy. We think that Lee has a little bit of reflux. The doctor said it’s not bad enough to put him on medicine especially since he’s gaining weight so well.

Sleep: We try to get Lee to sleep longer at night, but usually he only makes it 3 1/2 to 4 hours between one of his feedings at night. Cole is giving Lee a bottle for one of the night feedings so I can get a little more sleep. Thank you dear! Lee is still sleeping in the pack n’ play in our room. He sleeps well and doesn’t cry unless he’s hungry. We are discovering the Lee is a VERY noisy baby. Partly due to his reflux, he grunts a lot at night. The doctor said it sounds worse than it really is. I was glad to hear him say that because I was getting worried there for a while.

Activities: Lee loves his Baby Einstein play mat. He will look at the lights on the music box and just move his arms and legs around. He also loves his My Little Lamb swing. But mostly, Lee loves being held and loved on! We have also taken Lee on some outings. We have been to North Park, out to eat, Babies R Us and Target. He is a trooper on our outings and just sleeps most of the time.
