Noah has his one month check up yesterday! I can’t believe it’s already been a month! He is getting so big and Gary and I were excited to see how much he had gained and grown. He is now 8 lbs 10 oz and 21 1/4 inches long! He is growing like a weed but still is only in the 25th percentile for his age…so he has some growing to do. He did very well at his appt and we really love his pediatrician. He didn’t have any immunization shots yet, that will happen at the 2 month appt. Mommy was happy about that! We did get scolded for having him sleep in our bed…but we really don’t care since it is allowing mommy, daddy and Noah some great sleep! of course, we certainly are being as careful as possible with him in our bed.
Noah did show off for the pediatrician and rolled from his front to his back! She seemed impressed saying that this doesn’t usually happen until 4 months. We are going to have a genius 🙂
Noah and mommy had their first grocery shopping excursion today! Noah did VERY well and slept the entire time in his sling. He really seems to love the sling, I wear it all the time around the house and in fact yesterday was able to finish all laundry, put new sheets on the bed, vacuum, clean the kitchen floor AND make a pie all with him in the sling! He falls asleep almost immediately when in it and gives mommy two free hands! I hate putting him down away from me so the sling has been great for keeping him close but also alows me to be free to get things done.
Noah continues to sleep well with mommy and daddy at night. Last night he slept for 3 hours straight and then another 2 straight! It has been wonderful! Mommy and Noah even took a 2 hour nap today in preparation for a late night (my mom comes into town tonight rather late).
Overall we have had a wonderful week!! We have enjoyed seeing him smile and change every day. He is cooing more and focusing on faces much more intently. He is rolling from his front to his back and lifting his head higher and higher. He is such a sweet boy, very mild mannered unless of course he is hungry or poopy!
It should be a fun week ahead. My mom is coming to visit for the week and Gary’s parents are coming this weekend to visit. We love having gramma’s and grampa’s here!
