One Month old

...weighs 6lbs. 10 oz. at his 2 week appt but jumped to 9lbs 1 oz on July 16 (we don't have a recent length)

...sleeps 3-4 hours at night. Creepily, sometimes his eyes are open while he is sleeping. We had him in our bedroom in the bassinet but he makes a bunch of noise in his sleep so we have moved him into his room across the hall. He has had some serious reflux issues so it has been hard for me to sleep well when I can't hear him because I keep worrying he's choking on his spit-up. He much prefers sleeping in our arms or on us to his bassinet. Thanks to Julie (my sister-in-law) we at least have a soft wedge for him to sleep on so he can keep more formula down and be more comfortable. He also will sleep in the Baby Papasan we inherited from Derek and Julie but only if he falls asleep in our arms first.

...wears Newborn and 0-3 Months but he is getting too long for many NB sizes! He is very long and lean yet so many of the outfits are a bit roomy in the body for him. 

...eats: well nearly every kind of formula! Given my family history of dairy intolerance and his current reflux issues we have been trying out newborn, Gentlease (a more digested milk-based formula) and soy formula. So far he seems to be doing the best on the soy but we will go back to the Gentlease to see if it really makes that much of a difference.

...moves  His hands are always up by his face which adds to his cuteness. He loves to kick his legs and at times this has allowed him to move up and down the wedge in his bassinet. One morning I walked into pick him up after he began making noise to find his head hanging off the top of the wedge in his bassinet (it's not that high so it wasn't dangerous don't worry!) He LOVES to stretch and does it ALL the time - while he does this he often makes the most adorable faces, frequently raised eyebrows and puckered lips. He also has an amazing startle reflex and going over bumps in the stroller or car sometimes he will throw his arms out to the sides with fingers spread, even in his sleep. He likes looking at lights and is more alert between feedings, sometimes being up the whole 3 hrs between feedings.

 Here he's contemplating something deep, am I hungry or do I want to sleep? hmm...
