Ethan | 1 Month

This little guy turned a month old yesterday…boy that first month always flies by! All in all it has been quite the transition for all of us, but especially Em. Although she loves her brother to death, she is missing the attention and has been really testing her boundaries. She is always so aware when we are not paying attention to her and that’s when she can get herself into trouble (i.e. pulling the ornaments off the tree, climbing into Ethan’s swing, taking the stuffing out of the couch cushions – you name it!)

Let’s get back to Ethan, and take a look at what he’s been up to this month…

  • He’s a great eater – much more efficient than Em ever was!
  • He recently started sleeping 5 hours through the night!
  • He started napping in his crib last week and has been doing great – this has been super helpful to allow some one on one time for me and Em
  • He loves his MAM paci (Em was a month old before she even took a paci – this little guy took a paci the day we got home from the hospital)
  • The boy loves his swaddle…We just ordered the Love to Dream swaddle to try out – I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
  • Ethan loves the MamaRoo – although we have to be careful because Em likes taking his paci and blankets off of him, which he obviously doesn’t like
  • He took his first bottle of pumped milk last week which was a relief and now allows for a little bit more freedom for us if we want to go out
  • He is officially out of his newborn clothes and wearing 0-3 months now
  • He’s not a huge fan of tummy time – although Em likes laying next to him
  • He gets the hiccups at least 4 times a day – not sure what we would do without Gripe water!
  • He finally has more wake time – I swear it took him 2 weeks to open his eyes at all! SO much different than Em – she was so alert and wide-eyed just hours after she was born.

Weighing at 10lbs 1 oz and 22 inches long, here he is at 1 month!
