We had his 1 month check up at the pediatrician. His stats were: Head 15cm, 50th percentile; length 22 7/8 inches, 90th percentile; weight 10 lbs 14 oz, 75th percentile. He grew 2 inches and 2 lbs in 1 month!
Other milestones include:
Sleeping 2 nights in his crib. He did great both times. He has even taken a nap once in his crib, but he still prefers to be held during the day.
He does not like his ring sling any more. We borrowed a couple other carriers and he really seems to like the Beco. Plus I feel like he is more secure in it.
He is so much more vocal. He is constantly making noise. He coos and ahhs to just about anything in front of him.
He loves peek-a-boo, especially if you rub a soft blanket across his face.
He smiles so much more often. He gives one sided smirks, full on open mouth smiles, and tiny little grins. His personality is really starting to show.
He still is a very calm baby. He only gets upset when he is over tired or hungry. He still does well in the car, during bath time, and playing on his playmat.
He has started to like the rock n play and the swing. He still only likes his swing for about 15 minutes, but he watches his toys.
We borrowed a bouncer from Ooma, and he loves it. The up and down bouncing and vibrations keep him calm so I can shower. Sometimes he will even go to sleep on his own in the bouncer.
He had his first play date to the zoo! He slept almost the whole time, but I really enjoyed spending time with the other moms.
He has officially out grown his newborn clothes, which have been packed away. I really hope his 3 month clothes can make it until September.
He is staying awake for longer stretches, but that also means he is starting to get cranky when he is tired.
He made his first trips out of the city. We went down to my parents house for him to meet the rest of his cousins, and some more Aunts and Uncles. He still has more to meet. We also went to Dan's parents house to visit with his side of the family. So glad he has such a large family that are smitten with him already.
Daddy took John to his first gym for iFAST's 5 year celebration. Daddy was so excited to show John all the fun toys.
We are really enjoying having John around, watching him grow and learn every day. He is slowly getting more independent, so we are enjoying every moment we can together.
