Stats: No one month check-up. At 2 weeks, Sullivan was 9 pounds and 21.75 inches. Already growing to be a big boy! The next official check-up is at 2 months.
Firsts: Lots of firsts! First photo shoot. First check-up. First smiles (just in your sleep right now). First trip to Walmart (with both kids). First time to go to church. First trip to the Peanut Festival in Jay.
Milestones: Umbilical cord stump fell off at 11 days old. Starting to go 4 hours in between feedings at the beginning of the night. Too big for newborn size clothes and diapers.
Food: Breastfeeding on demand during the day (usually every 2-3 hours) and about every 3 hours at night. He has started to stretch his first feeding at night to every 4 hours. He is a pretty fast nurser, usually between 15 and 20 minutes, and just likes to eat on one side at each feeding. So glad he is gaining weight already!
Sleep: No schedule or predictability yet. Sullivan likes to sleep in his swing alot during the day. AT night, he sleeps in the bassinet part of his pack and play in our room. He is a much quieter sleeper than Caroline was, so I still sleep well with him right beside our bed for now. He loves to sleep with his paci during the day, but he spits it out when he sleeps at night.
Our days: Sullivan is very easy going so that helps a ton! Our days aren't always the same, but we usually play inside with Caroline during the morning and then outside in the afternoon. Because I am chasing after crazy 2 year old Caroline, I really enjoy snuggling Sullivan while Caroline naps and when she goes to bed. We have just started to go back to church, so that is a big part of our Wednesdays and Sundays. Saturdays are all about football in the fall. Daddy can't wait until Sullivan is big enough to go to a game and love the Auburn Tigers just like him! :)
Favorites: Sullivan loves to sleep on my chest with his head up by my shoulder. I love that he is a snuggly baby so far! He really likes to raise his eyebrows, which makes his forehead all wrinkled... it's so cute! Daddy loves having another boy around the house!
