Matthew - One Month!

Wow, this month sure has flown by!!  I can't believe you are a month old already, Matthew!

Here's what you are up to this month:

You weigh 10 lbs. now!  You have gained 2.5 pounds already!
You eat about 3-4 ounces every 2-3 hours.
You like to wake up every 2 hours at night, but have been sleeping a little longer the past few days.
You finally lost your umbilical cord this weekend, but you had what they call a granuloma that did not fall off, so the doctor put silver nitrate on it today to help it dry up and it should fall off on its own.
You like to sleep in your swing, which helps Mommy a lot! :)
You do not like your carseat very much.  Well, you are fine until Mommy buckles you and then you cry.
You are starting to outgrow your newborn and some of your 0-3 mos. clothing and moving into size 3 mos.
You are so long that a lot of the smaller sizes are too short.
You can also pick your head up and turn it from side to side when we are holding you.  You're so strong already!

You seem to like your nap nanny that Mommy bought you.  It works great for naps and for a place to sit when Mommy needs to do something real quick.

Mommy loves you so much!  We all do!  You are so sweet and snuggly.  It's been a challenge for Mommy to get used to these sleepless nights and we are still working on getting your formula right, as you've been a little fussy with your tummy lately.  But, as each day goes by, we are getting more into a routine and it's getting easier to go places too. 

Now, stop growing up so fast!  :D
