1 Month Old

On 1/7/2011 Carter Rollins was 1 month old.  He had a great check-up with his doctor.  She was thrilled that he put on over 3 lbs. in 3 weeks.  He went from the 25% in weight to the 75%.  He is in the 50% for his height, and 25% for his head size.  He is starting to be more alert and awake everyday.  We are working on getting him on a schedule.  Jamie and I are reading Baby Wise and it seems to be helping.  Maybe it is all in our heads, but we like the concept.  He still has good days and fussy days, but that it to be expected of a newborn.  Here are a few of his likes and dislikes at 1 month old:

Likes:
Riding in the car, he falls asleep right away
Taking a bath
His bouncing seat
Going out to eat
Eating
Passing Gas
Starring at the fan even when it's not on
Bouncing/Moving- it calms him when we bounce around
Music- he loves it when his mom makes up songs in the middle of the night

Dislikes:
Sleeping in his crib (even though is getting used it now)
The dark
Putting on lotion after a bath
Being cold
Changing clothes
Diaper changes (well, I should really say cold wet wipes)

All in all he is a happy kid, and we are enjoying every second we spend with him!

Yes, that is a #1 written with baby lotion
