1 Month Old!

  Kyle at 1 Month

(not the best expression on his face, but at least his eyes are open and head is straight)

This was Kyle at 1 week

His head/neck is so much stronger now

Our "little" man is growing fast!  We didn't go to the doctor at 1 month, so I don't have a length measurement.  But I've been weighing him on the Wii Fit and he's 12 pounds.  I'm sure his length has increased too because there are a few sleepers he can no longer wear because he's too long.  He's still wearing 3 month clothes and a few 6 month onesies.  (Every brand fits differently.)  He's in size 1 diapers.  He doesn't like to be swaddled anymore (I think he gave it up around 3 weeks old).  He usually sleeps with his arms above his head.  He eats every 1.5-2 hours during the day, and then can go longer between feedings at night.  He's had 2 great nights of 6 hours between feedings and 3-4 hours between the next feeding.

The cats no longer hide under the bed all day.  They like to be in whatever room Kyle is in.  Not sure if they are just curious or maybe they are being protective.  Salsa likes to join Kyle and me in the rocking chair during the nighttime feedings.  She knows I can't do anything else except pet her :)

Lily is still very good with Kyle.  Periodically, she will ask to hold him.  She prefers doing "tummy time" with him on the floor.  He likes his activity mat and will stare at the mirror and bat at some of the objects with his hands.  He loves staring at the ceiling fans!

Oh, I just remembered a great milestone... he smiles!  I caught his first smile this week and then Matt got a couple the day after.  Kyle is still our super sweet baby.  He goes with the flow while Lily and I are busy playing or on outings.  He only cries for a reason and is very quiet otherwise.
