Oliver at 1 Month

At 1 month, Oliver:

- is 10 lbs. (when weighed on our scale at home), up from 8 lbs. 12 oz at birth.
- is wearing size 1 diapers (although they are a little big), and a combination of newborn and 0-3 month clothing. Circo and Carters 3 Month outfits are roomy but fit him perfect lengthwise– the kid is long!
- takes a bottle of breastmilk from his dad and grandmothers without hesitation. But if he hears my voice, he fusses until I leave the room.
- needs a bath every other day because his hair gets greasy! Good thing he enjoys bath time (until he's taken out and gets cold).
- loves his swing. When he's tired he'll cry and fight it, but quickly falls asleep in it.
- loves the Moby and falls asleep instantly.
- sleeps 4-5 hour stretches during the night, usually starting from 10pm to 3am. He sleeps in his own crib and loves it!
- smiles and coos during his awake periods throughout the day. He makes eye contact and coos more when you get in his face and say "goooo!" or "oh!"
- cries hysterically when hungry. There is nothing to sooth him until he has a boob (or a bottle) in his mouth.
- is not interested in a pacifier.
- loves his daddy. You should see the way he studies John's face and coos like crazy when he's holding him.
- is the love of our lives!
