One Month: (7 pounds 14 ounces, 21 inches)
Some interesting Hudson facts/accomplishments:
- grabbing things with two hands
- starting the pincer grip
- touching fingertips together and to other objects
- eating baby foods (bananas are his favorite, but likes apples and peaches too; i think he's developed my sensitivity to pears; veggies - even sweet ones - aren't coming too easily)
- trying to sit up (he's made it on his own on my lap for about a minute)
- wanting to stand all the time - propped against our shoulders, holding our hands, however possible - for over a minute at a time, then a quick rest, then right back up
- pushing up on his tummy all the way
- not rolling yet, but starting to throw his leg over his back when he's on his belly (as if he's trying to get momentum going) - edit: shortly after 4 months, he started rolling belly to back over his left shoulder
- recognizing faces and voices, following people as they move across a room, finding someone when he hears their voice
- starting to do "crunches" when he's on his back or leaned backwards as if trying to sit up
- will occasionally splash the water when he's sitting in the bathtub
- starting to cut 2 teeth (top and bottom right middle) - we can feel where his gums are no longer squishy, but they haven't broken free yet
- finally loves to have his diaper changed - no more tears!
- has started developing a schedule that looks a bit like this (i know it looks like a lot of chaos, but I'm letting HIM develop the schedule - when i tried to set it for him, much tantruming ensued):
- awake for good around 8-30 (if earlier, he will usually take a morning nap, but is always up by 9)
- nurse
- nap around 11-1130ish
- lunch
- nurse then sometimes nap around 2
- nurse then nap around 430-5
- dinner 630-730ish
- bath
- nurse
- sleep by 830-845
- up around 12-1, 2-330, 5-6
- size 2 diapers, but even though he's still in the weight range, we'll probable move up to 3s when this pack is gone (and I've discovered that i prefer Huggies for him... wonder if this'll change when he gets out of the Snugglers)
- almost entirely out of 3 month clothes - some are 3-6M, some are 6M, and one is even a 9M! :(
- when laying on his tummy, he'll pull his legs under him then shoot them out, flopping himself onto his tummy, but scooting him forwards in the process. not exactly crawling, but definitely on the move!
- loves his johnny jumper and has recently started to bounce himself rather than wait for one of us to bounce him. he also will turn himself in a circle (but can only turn one way) while in it. there's not a lot of sitting done in the seat of it... unless he falls asleep while in it
- tolerates (quite well honestly) wearing socks, shoes, hats, and sunglasses
- cannot go without his paci - I've got a collection (okay, there's 8 in a Ziploc bag!) of them that go in the car with us!
- has started imitating words: about two weeks ago, Nate brought him to sit in the chair with him when Hud woke up crying; i came in the room, he looked at me and screamed "ma!" as if he was furious that he was awake without having a boob in his mouth! then, last week, while crying, i swear he said "mama" and "boobie". then, he was having a morning conversation with Nate and said "hi" back to daddy!
