Growing With The Boyer's: Colton- 1 Month Old

Happy 1 Month Birthday little guy. It's hard to believe that a month has already passed since I had you. I have done a lot of things differently with you than I did with you big brother. First off, I switch you to formula at 2 weeks old. It made the world of difference for us. You and I are much happier because you are getting to eat and filling full after you eat. Also I guess since I have had 2 years of practice I feel more comfortable with you and we have been on the go since you were born. I have been to the library for singing time, Target & Wal-mart a lot and have had a few fun play dates with new friends! You have gotten big so fast!!! At your 2 week appointment you were 8 lbs 9 ozs which is 3 ozs over your birth weight! I can't wait to see what you are at your 2 month appointment.

Here are some fun things about you:

*You have amazingly strong neck muscles and can hold your head up on your own for a good amount of time.

*You have been able to spend more time with out someone holding you. You enjoy laying on your back looking around. You also really like the swing and bouncy seat.

*You seem to only like to take a nap in you swing for bouncy seat. But will sleep in your bassinet at night.

*You don't sleep or nap well if you are not swaddled, but you really hate to be swaddled if your awake.

*You have a hard time going to sleep unless someone is holding you. (Not good, we need to work on this. Haha!)

*You eat every 2-3 hours. At about 3 weeks I started giving you 4 ozs of formula because you still seems hungry after 3 ozs. It seems to fill you up now. You were eating every 2 hours but I have been working on spreading it out more and you can easily make it 2 1/2 (most of the time) but sometimes you surprise me and go 3 or longer.

*At night you usually sleep 3-4 hours at a time.

*You always seem to smile at me after you finish getting your bottle, it's very cute!!

*You can still where newborn clothing but the sleepers are to small. I have started to put you in 0-3 but they are still a little big.

*You were in newborn diapers because I still had some that I wanted to use but should have been switched to size 1 at 3 weeks. Haha! The size 1 seem to be just a tiny bit big, but the newborns were way to small.
