1 Month!

Baby Boy hit 1 month this week! Hooray! Here are some of the milestones that have occurred since his birth.

Milestones:

• As of 3 weeks, can lift his head and hold it there. He has a very strong neck.
• Is focusing on things more with his eyes, particularly on his mommy's face when being fed and picture frames on the wall.
• Is growing! He's gained about 3.5 lbs since his birth, which is good since he was at a low birth weight. The double chin he is sporting is quite dashing.
• Has moved from preemie clothes up to newborn/ 0-3 month clothes.

Favorites Activities: 

• Eating! All. The. Time.
• Waving his hands around like he just don't care! (Seriously, don't swaddle this kid's arms or he will FREAK OUT. He really likes his hands by his face.)
• Hanging out in his bouncer
• The Great Outdoors. (Meaning taking walks around the neighborhood in his stroller.)
• Grunting

Dislikes:

• Getting his diaper changed.
• The dark. (He always cries when the lights are turned off at night.)

And a Few Tidbits:

• Favorite type of music - The Blues. He was fussy one night and we came downstairs where his daddy was jamming on the guitar to the blues and he calmed down and listened. He started crying again once daddy stopped.
• Favorite place he has been to - Grandma's House
• Least enjoyable place he has been to - The Doctor's Office
• What he wants to be when he grows up - We are thinking something with night shifts, since he handles those well. Maybe something in the medical field or public service. He's good with people, since everyone loves him. But perhaps a career where you work with people in small doses, since he gets over stimulated easily.
• Favorite People - Mommy for all the good meals she provides and the great company since we hang out all day and of course Daddy who is already the fun one and likes to reenact The Lion King with him, as seen below.
