I cannot believe that it has already been a month since Cade entered this world and changed Gregg and I's lives for the better! These last 4 weeks have really gone by fast- too fast honestly! I feel like we were just at the hospital anxiously awaiting his arrival and now we are celebrating our first month with him.
Cade has grown and changed so much. He weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces last Monday and is even bigger now! Here are a few things about him this month:
- He is getting so strong and is able to scoot himself up or down a little when we lay him down.
- He has gained so much control in his neck and doesn't do the droopy head thing near as much.
- He has started to be able to track our voice or face and follow it.
- He has just almost outgrown his newborn diapers and clothes.
- He enjoys car rides as long as we are moving but will get fussy when stopped at red lights.
- He eats every 3 hours during the day and every 4-5 hours at night.
- He stays awake and is becoming more alert during the day until about his 2pm feed and then is ready to take a nap.
- He sleeps in his crib and has since the night we brought him home from the hospital.
- He likes his bath time as long as he is warm but does not like having lotion put on after the bath or at night before bed.
- His head still favors the right side and we are having to work constantly to get him to turn it to the left.
- He loves being snuggled and must be wrapped up in his snuggle sack at night in order for him to sleep good.
We have really been blessed with a good baby! He was a great traveler and so easy going while we were in Lubbock the last couple of weeks. He has fit into our lives and has (for now) completed our family. Everyday gets easier and more fun! We love you little one and can't wait to see how much you change over the next 4 weeks!
Happy 1 Month Birthday to our sweet little man!!!
