Nolan is 1 Month Old!

Wow, I would say “I can’t believe it, he is 1 month old already. How did this happen!!” But, I know how it happened, babies grow oh so fast and it seems with the snap of your finger they are changing. Well, I can believe he is a month old, but I will always wonder how it went by so fast 0r seemed to go by so fast. With each passing day, I love this little guy more and more. Amazing!

Sticking with tradition, I plan on writing Nolan’s loves and new things down each month as I have done for Alivia for her 1st year.

Stats:

- 8 pounds, 15 ounces, 21 1/4 inches long

Nolan’s Loves (pretty simple at this age):

- Sleeping (a lot)

He has been known to sleep 5 hour increments at night!! That’s pretty good, I’d have to say!

- Eating (like a champ)

At Nolan’s 1 month checkup he was 8 pounds 15 ounces, that’s almost 9 pounds! He grew a whopping 2 pounds in 1 month from his birth weight at 6 pounds 14 ounces. He is my little eater!

- Being held (and snuggling chest to chest)

What a sweet little guy he is! I love holding him so I don’t mind that this is one of his loves. When we put him down and he just wants to be held, he makes the sweetest pouty face.

- His paci (is his friend)

I didn’t realize how much the pacifier can be helpful. Alivia never took one, so I didn’t know that in certain situations (i.e. car rides, dinner time, and quick errands where I can’t feed him right away) the paci is a cry-saver!!

- Looking at his mama and dada (when being held)

He just concentrates so much on us! It’s like he is thinking so hard and you can tell with his wise eyes. I think he is going to be a deep-thinker!

Nolan’s New Things (not a whole lot right now):

- He actually flipped from his stomach to his back (at 6 weeks) but I think it was a fluke as he hasn’t done it again.

- He is really, really trying to talk to us… I can see that he is trying to coo when we talk to him
