I snapped some shots of him while he was hanging out in his Pack N Play. This baby makes the funniest faces. Here are some of them:
He doesn't smile often yet, but every now and then I catch a quick glimpse of a smile. I can't wait until he starts really smiling because he has the cutest dimples!
He likes to tuck his lower lip/chin in.
And he likes to bulge his eyes out.
A look back on JJs first month:
His belly button cord fell off on day 14 (finally). He hated the sponge baths we had to give him until his belly button and circumcision healed. Now he can be more emerged into his baby bath and he really enjoys that!
He weighs 10 pounds exactly.
*He wears size 1 diapers and 0-3 months clothes, however it is getting rather difficult to snap the onesies because he is so long.
He eats 4 ounces every 3 hours; including night time. Twice he has gone 5 hours without a bottle. Once that was during the night and it was awesome!
He has been in his crib at night since 3 weeks old. He seems to enjoy the quietness of his own room.
He loves his pacifier when he is awake and bored. I love that he doesn't need it to fall asleep. I use it to tide him over when he is still 20 minutes or so away from his next feeding. I'm glad it works!
This week he has really began focusing on people and objects. He is also realizing that he has hands that work. He is constantly holding his pacifier in his mouth, taking it out, touching his bottle, feeling his cheeks, etc.
I have one week left at home with him before I go back to work 3 days a week. I am much more worried this time around about his well being when I am not around. But, I only work 3 days a week from 9-3, and he will be at Jeremy's cousin's house that is just 1 mile away from where I work. All the more incentive to work hard to pay off debts so I can stay home.
