My eyes are open more now during the day. My personality is starting to shine through… and boy am I grumpy!!! I always look so serious and angry. Mommy said I smile when I am curled up with her napping.

I like to hold onto things now. I inherited Breighton’s telephone rattle.

I still like to fall asleep on Mommy. I actually sleep so much better when touching her.

But when she keeps snapping pictures and moving around I get mad and stare her down.

In other news… for THREE nights now I have slept in my bassinet ON MY BACK! Mommy took me off the reflux meds and I am actually doing rather well. Other than when I play major piggy and want to nurse every 45 minutes and then spit up what didn’t fit! Mommy & Daddy are very happy that I am doing MUCH better with the reflux. YEAH!

So I have been sleeping in the car seat placed in the port-a-crib for over a week now. I am sleeping a LOT better. The last two nights I have had a 5 hour sleep stretch! Mommy is very happy with that.

My reflux is doing MUCH better. Mommy stopped my meds already and I seem to be just fine without them. Mommy is nursing me differently and more frequently and that is helping too. Only a few belly burps that have resulted in me soaking Mommy.

My tummy time is paying off too. I can hold my head up pretty high now and for about 10 seconds at a time.

Here is a photo shoot of my turning my head side to side.

Okay, done with all my aerobics and time to relax.

Last night I left Mommy sleep from 9:45pm until 3:15am!!! Five and a half hours of real sleep. Other than the oven finishing its cleaning cycle at midnight… Mommy got a good nap! 🙂 I am getting bigger every day! 🙂

Today was my one month check-up. Hmm, a week and a half late! hehe! I weighed in at 11lbs 8oz. That puts me in the 75%. I am a bit smaller than Breighton but Mommy and Daddy seem to think I am bigger. I haven’t really grown in length… but that is because no one can seems to measure a baby the same. I was 21.25 at the hospital and am only 22 now. Oddly, I don’t fit in most of my 0-3 month clothing other than pants. So Daddy thinks my legs are shrinking and my torso is lengthening!??? Huh? Sure Daddy! I am just fine!

Me trying to figure out Mommy’s phone.

 

So SERIOUS! I always look serious!

I still sleep too! Mommy crashed with me because my sleep vibes were SOOOOO strong!

Doesn’t it look like this would HURT?? Where did my face go. I am all twisted up!

Today we went to the Renaissance Festival in Tampa.

I spent most of my day in the stroller sleeping. The ground was wicked bumpy so I was a little mixed up… really it just lulled me to sleep.

Breighton wanted me to wake up so he could show me his dragon tattoo. I opted for sleep.

I did wake up to watch Breighton on the pony ride.

Tomorrow I go for my one month check-up. Mommy thinks I am well over 11lbs. We will see tomorrow. Mommy said that 0-3 month clothing is tight shoulder to crotch but pants are still a bit long for me in 0-3 month size. I am going to be a big boy just like my brother!
