Hudson 1 Month Old

Hudson is now 1 month old. We survived our first month with two kids. It was challenging at times, but really we couldn't be happier that he's here. He's our last baby so I'm to soak up this time I have with him while he's a newborn, because I know it goes by so fast. Here's what our boy is up to at 1 month.

Weight: 7lbs 14oz (as of 1.2.14). I'm sure you weigh well over 8lbs now though.

Height: 20.5"

Clothes: You've outgrown a lot of newborn stuff already and moving into 0-3 Month and 3 Month stuff. You also wear a size 1 diaper now.

 

Sleep: Sleep has not been easy. I forgot how hard it is in the beginning. However, it's getting better. You've been sleeping a lot throughout the day and sleep from about 1am-5am wake up to eat and then go back to sleep til 8am. So it's not too bad. 

Eating: Eating has also been more challenging than it was for big sis. You eat every 3-4 oz every 3 hours during the day (sometimes more). I breastfed you in the beginning, but you had a bad latch so I pumped breast milk to bottle feed you. It was really rough, so we are in the process of weaning you to formula right now. I'm proud I made it 5 weeks. I wish I could've done longer, but it's just too hard on my body and my sanity. That being said, you are very picky so far with your formula. You don't like the powder kind, so I think we are going to be spending quite a bit of money to feed you.

 
Likes: Being held, rocked, soothed, laying on your belly, eating, your paci, and mommy of course.


Dislikes: Being swaddled, bath time, laying flat on your back, and powdered formula.


Milestones: You just continue to grow and get stronger every day. You are able to sleep in longer intervals and finally got your days and nights straight. You have such strong head control for a new baby and love tummy time. You have given me quite a few smiles which I love. You have started to track us with your eyes as well as grab at things. You especially like to grab at my hair. Can't wait to see what you do next.
 
Hudson we just love you so much. Life just got more interesting now that you are in it. I'm so proud you are my son and I grow more in love with you everyday.
