Month 2

Highlights

• One month, one day- 11 lbs 13 oz (93rd %) 23 in (92nd %)
• 7 weeks 5 days- 14 obs 5 oz (98th %)
• He has to wear mittens because his little hands are always by his face and he scratches it.
• Loves to take naps on mommy.  I love this right now, but needless to say, I don't get much done! He will nap in his crib for short amounts of time.
• The hair on top of his head started falling out.  It looks like he has early male pattern baldness!
• He loves to be held tight and cuddle.  
• He LOVES his paci! If it falls out, he lets you know.
• If he really wants his paci, when we first put it in his mouth he shakes his head back and forth a bunch.
• His eyes are focusing much better now.  He can track objects and loves looking at mommy and daddy.
• At his monthly check up this month he did much better than mommy did when he got his shots.  He stopped crying as soon as daddy picked him up to love on him.
• He loves when I sing to him.  He gets really still and stares at me.
• He is still sleeping through church... thank goodness!  No crying outbursts! :)
• He is staying awake more during the day now.  Usually for an hour or two in between feedings.
• Eating 4-5 oz every 3 or 4 hours.
• Right at 7 weeks he started sleeping in his crib at night!  He'll sleep for about 4 hours at a time.

Doctor visits- Only one extra visit this month!  At seven and half weeks his tongue was green on the top middle part.  I had never seen or heard of this, but apparently it's pretty common.  It was thrush, a yeast infection in his mouth.  It was pretty easy to treat.  Paint his mouth with and anti-fungal 4 times a day for 7 days.  It was funny at the Dr. office though because a few of the nurses had never seen it before and came in our room to check it out.
