4.8.16 - 1 month old!

Time is flying way too fast and this little boy of ours is getting so big already!

Talmage at 4 weeks

I took him in for his two week appointment and we don't go back until he's two months, so here are Talmage's 2 week stats:
Weight: 8 lbs 6.5 oz (49%)
Length: 20.5 inches (43%)
Head: 35 cm (22%)

Our handsome little man.  I can't believe he's a month old already!



He sleeps with his hand by his chin a lot.  I think it's cute :)

Sleeping in his swing

He's so cute!

Talmage and I went to Sacrament meeting last Sunday.  He looked so handsome and he slept the whole time :)

Starting to smile a tiny bit!

Talmage at 1 month old:

-He's already on a pretty routine/fairly predictable schedule.

-He eats about every three hours during the day and wants to eat about every four hours at night.

-He's our best eater so far.

-He prefers to nurse over eating from a bottle, but he takes a bottle okay.

-Talmage has acid reflux and spits up a lot. We've started him on some medication that seems to help him not feel so uncomfortable.

-He only takes a binky occasionally and it takes some convincing for him to take it. 

-He tolerates his sisters holding him but prefers to be held by Mom or Dad.

-He loves to  be held and snuggled but likes it best if we stand up and/or walk around with him when he's tired.

-He has already grown out of his newborn sized clothes and we're putting him in size 1 diapers already too.

-Talmage does okay on car rides but he really only likes his car seat if it's in motion.

-So far, he doesn't really like bath time.

-He has his Daddy's beautiful blue eyes :)

-He is already holding his head up really well!

-He hardly ever cries.

-Talmage is such a great baby!  He's super mellow and he's such a joy to have around.

We're so happy you're in our family, Talmage!
