One Month Old

Asher is one month old today.


At one month:

Weight:  10 pounds 5 ounces (75 percentile)
Height:  22 inches (90 percentile)
Head:  15.2 (80 percentile)
He is a big boy!

-Asher eats about every 3 hours during the day and goes 4-5 hours at night (one time) and then 3 hours again after that.  
-He is losing his hair!  He looks a little like a grandpa with his receding hairline.
-We swaddle him up to go to sleep, but he hates having his arms in and usually fights until he gets them out.
-He is such a little grunter!  He is constantly grunting, even in his sleep.
-He smiles a lot in his sleep and we just recently discovered he has dimples!
-He is really alert and loves holding his head up and looking at the ceiling.
-He has grown out of newborn size clothes and diapers.
-He doesn't do well when I eat ice cream, so he must not deal well with milk.  He gets fussy and spits up a lot, so for now no ice cream for me.  Luckily I don't really drink milk anyway, and he seems to do ok with a little bit of cheese or things here and there. 
-He is such a sweet baby and we are just loving life with him in our family!

that all sounds oh so familiar...especially the fighting until he gets his arms out! Connor was doing the every 3 hour thing and the one 4-5 hour stretch until like 2 days ago when he decided he wanted to eat every hour starting at like 3 am! bad baby!! He is Super cute Chelsea!

He is such a cute little guy. Hope we can we can see him again soon!

And I'm sorry you have to lay off the ice-cream. Sophie couldn't tolerate it when I ate dairy, so I couldn't have it at all for about 6 months. :(

What a cute picture Chels! How did you do this? I loved reading all his one month old stats. He's getting big! So sad when they grow out of the newborn stuff!
