Age 1 month
Weight & Length Jackson weighed 8 lbs 7 oz (55%) at his 2 week check
up. We haven’t officially weighed
him since but on our scales at home he seems to weigh around 10-10.5 lbs at 1
month. His length was 21.8 inches (92%) at 2 weeks.
Clothing size 0-3 months,
though some of these are still pretty big on him, he has definitely outgrown
his newborn outfits!
Hair Jackson’s hair is light brown and
he was born with the most adorable cowlick, just like his daddy! We were sad to
see him lose the cowlick around 3-4 weeks, and he now has a moderate amount of
light brown hair on the back of his head and on the sides.
Teeth Zero
Sleeping Jackson usually sleeps for
one 4-5 hours stretch at night between 11-5 am which affords his mommy a little
sleep! During the day he naps
often but the duration is unpredictable.
Eating Jackson loves to eat, and
usually is on an every 2-2.5 hour schedule during the day.
Movement Jackson loves to kick his legs and show us how strong he is,
especially when in his bouncer. He
also loves to lay on his activity mat and listen to the sounds the dangling
toys make. He can also track objects pretty well.
Milestones Jackson started smiling around 4 weeks. It is the most precious thing,
and we can’t wait to see more of his smiles!
Favorite toys/activities Jackson loves to eat. He also
loves his activity mat and bouncer. After eating he usually likes to play on the mat and he
gets excited when he hears noises from the toys dangling above him. He
especially enjoys a new black and white hanging mobile!
Dislikes Jackson HATES wet diapers. He is sure to let us know when he is
wet, even if it is just a little wet and he was just changed, he is so much
happier in a dry diaper. He loves
to interact with Mommy and Daddy when he is on the changing table.
Words & sounds He makes lots of adorable sounds.
Nothing is consistent at this point.
What we love Cuddling with Jackson and
quiet time when we rock him to sleep.
We love his smiles and seeing him become more alert and interactive
during the day.
What we don’t love Evening fussiness is
starting to improve. We are looking forward to getting past 6 weeks when
fussiness usually is at it’s peak.
We are also learning more of Jackson’s cues, and trying to combat
fussiness with naps and an earlier bedtime, as we think he may just be
overtired from wanting to socialize with us so much.
What we’re looking forward to next month We
can’t wait for more cooing and smiling, as he becomes more expressive and
interactive!
