Tanner at One Month

I enjoyed doing the monthly posts with Ashton so I figured I'd continue them with Tanner. Plus this way, I'll have information to update his baby book when I have spare time (in ten years).

Weight: 8 lbs 2 oz at birth. Dropped to 7 lbs 14 oz when we left the hospital. At 2 weeks, he weighed 8 lbs 5 oz. At one month, he weighs about 9 1/2 pounds.

Height: 20 inches at birth, 21 inches at 2 weeks, 21.5 at one month

Clothing Size: I just moved him to 0-3 month the other day because I didn't have enough pants in newborn and I'm not about to buy some. The clothes are pretty big on him but at least we'll get more use out of them.

Daily Schedule: I never recall Ashton being on a schedule/routine. Tanner pretty much created a fairly predictable schedule. He wakes up around 7am. He almost always takes a long afternoon nap from 1 to 4, which works out great as it is during Ashton's nap too. He goes to bed about 7/8 and wakes up twice at night (around 12/1 and 4:30). He's great about eating every 3 hours or so during the day, which I appreciate.

Total diapers we change daily: Too many in my opinion. Good thing we haven't started cloth diapers yet or I'd be doing laundry every day.

Total outfits we go through daily: He doesn't have too many blowouts actually. This is quite a change from Ashton at this age. Sometimes he wears the same outfit from the day before it's not dirty and I don't feel like changing him just for the sake of changing him. Sorry kid.


Special Outings: Lots of places... play group, lunch at Joseph's work, church, library time

Firsts: First bath, first Dr. Ashton examination complete with flashlight in his eyes, first princess sticker, first bottle, first cold courtesy of his big sister, first trip to the beach

Sibling love: Ashton did pretty good when we first brought Tanner home but he slept a lot. The last week has been a little harder for her as he's waking up and becoming more alert. I think this also has to do with Joseph going to back to work more (he still stays home a few half days a week) and the fact that Tanner needs a little more help to fall asleep. If I have Tanner with me when she wakes up from her nap, she demands that I use two hands to pick her up out of her crib. One hand will not suffice anymore. Ashton is very sweet to him at times. She reads a bedtime story to him every time he takes a nap at home and then sings to him in the car when he's crying.

Overall, Tanner is a very alert baby. I hear that from everyone who sees him. He loves to look around and take everything in. I recall people saying that Ashton was very alert too at a young age.

How tummy time goes typically.





I love sleeping babies.
 


Monthly Video: I tried to get an interesting video but let's be honest, not much happens with a one month old. So you'll have to wait for a video next month.

What the next month should bring: My parents come visit, more fun outings with the family
